Traian Basescu considers that, after the prime minister's resignation and with interim situations at the most important state institutions, Romanian shows “catastrophic”. The former head of state states that the Romanians are “in the situation they rarely have, to remove the country from their impasse” at the May 18, when the new president of the country will be decided.
Basescu was asked on Monday night, in a television show, as Romania looks like with an interim president and an interim prime minister.
“Honestly, catastrophic!”, The former head of state replied briefly.
“And with an extremist candidate who took 40%. We catastrophic, but this kind of situations are made to be resolved by politicians. Politicians must now show all the ability to solve the political problem, and Romanians are in the situation they rarely have, to remove the country from their impasse through their vote on the 18th (MAI, no,”
The former head of state also believes that, given the promises of George Simion that former candidate Călin Georgescu will have an important function, Romania risks reaching a situation without solutions if Simion will be elected president.
“Think about what Romania would look like with a president who also brings one like Călin Georgescu, he stones him in the Government, and Romania with an extreme-right president. It is, in my opinion, a situation that you can not solve. Romania enters a state category that has no democratic criteria.”
Previously, on Monday afternoon, in a telephone intervention at Digi24, the former president did an analysis of the political situation in which Romania is located after the first round of the presidential elections, saying that Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu had to resign since November last year and explained that the huge difference between George Simion and Nicușor Dan.

In fact, Basescu also supported on Monday, this time in a Facebook post, that for Nicușor Dan to win the second round of the presidential elections in front of George Simion, the independent candidate must “call the people, not to the politicians” from PNL and PSD.

The PSD-PNL-UDMR-minorities governance coalition broke on Monday, less than five months after it was created, as a result of the social-democrats' decision to break the agreement after the joint 2 of the common candidate, Crin Antonescu. As a result, Marcel Ciolacu has submitted his resignation from the position of prime minister.
An interim prime minister will be appointed in the first part of tomorrow by President Ilie Bolojan, who is also in an interim position, the Presidential Administration later announced.
