On Monday, in an intervention at Digi24, former President Traian Basescu commented on the result of the first tour of the presidential elections and said that the Romanians sanctioned by their vote the ruling parties, refusing the discourse on the “need for stability” that they have promoted.

“We must say that the population was tired of this donut that” for Romania is essential. “This phrase has not been agreed by citizens, they understood that it is a lie under which the country is plundered in favor of the political clientele, (…) that they have to pay extremely great interest, there is a long -worked interest. said Traian Basescu.

Regarding the resignation of PSD Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, Traian Basescu was categorical, saying that he comes too late and that this should have happened since December 2024, after the Constitutional Court canceled the presidential elections, whose organization was part of the prime minister's duties.

In addition, he has launched harsh accusations of the competence of the prime minister, which he accused of not understanding that he had brought Romania to an extremely difficult situation.

“It is definitely too late to come now to have your resignation. This was to be done immediately last year, in November, because the responsible for organizing the elections is the Government, this is the prime minister. This meant the resignation of the position of prime minister-this resignation had to be a reality as soon as the elections were canceled.

Always, when it comes to a resignation of a government, it is said that “it is not the time now” … now it is the time, these people have been formidable, they had to make the gesture, Ciolacu did not understand what was happening with the Romanian economy.

Ciolacu does not understand what happens to the economy, the man does not have school, does not understand that he has put the country in a difficult situation with the loans.

What benefits does an incompetent prime minister bring in a difficult situation of the country? The faster the faster, the better”, Said Traian Basescu.

“Iohannis's biggest error was that he wanted to get rid of the problems and put the PSD in government,” he said.

The former president also commented on the first round of the presidential elections, after which George Simion and Nicuşor Dan, who are not given a chance to defeat the gold leader, arrived in the second round. However, Traian Basescu believes that the general mayor of the Capital can recover the difference in votes if a greater presence will be recorded.

“In 2000 in Bucharest I had obtained in the first round 16% and (the votes) were recoverable, Oprescu had 41% and I won Bucharest in the round. At the presidential no there were about 9 million Romanians with voting rights. From 11 (candidates, no), there were two candidates. he said.

The former president emphasized the importance of a vote to maintain the pro-European and pro-Nato direction and believes that Nicuşor Dan's mission is to convince the Romanians that he will do what he promises.

“Nicușor Dan has to convince only one partner-the Romanian people, he must convince him that he will do what he promises. (…) It is a time when the Romanian people must save their own country through a majority vote representing the Western Directorate, that Romania will remain part of the EU and NATO. A Tandem Călin Georgescu with Simion It would be catastrophic for the country and not the Romanian people are guilty for the situation in which it has arrived. But the Romanian people must remove the country from this difficult situation, it is the mission of the Romanians to do so ”, It was the conclusion of Traian Basescu.
