Ilie Bolojan and Sorin Grindeanu, ask what they talked to the president Nicușor Dan. What did they answer?
Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan and PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu spoke, in separate interventions on Sunday evening, about the discussions held with President Nicușor Dan, in the context in which the social democrats are going to decide whether to withdraw their political support to the head of the Government.
The appearances of the two took place on different television stations, a day before the PSD decided whether or not to govern with the PSD.
What Ilie Bolojan said
Invited to B1 TV, Ilie Bolojan stated that he had a “clarifying” discussion with the president, in which the political perspectives of each were addressed.
“I talked with him, I informed him about the perspective of what is happening. We will also discuss in the coming days. We had a clarifying discussion about what is happening and everyone's perspectives. I knew about PSD's perspective because I had a discussion with Sorin Grindeanu and I knew what the situation was,” said Ilie Bolojan.
Asked if the head of state asked him to resign, Bolojan replied: “No.”
What Sorin Grindeanu said
At Antena 3 CNN, Sorin Grindeanu confirmed that he had several discussions with the president, but refused to provide details.
“Being in two, I should have asked for permission to say what was discussed,” said the PSD leader.
Asked if the president takes the side of one of the two or remains neutral, Grindeanu said that he did not feel an overstepping of his constitutional duties.
“I didn't feel that he exceeded the limits given by the Constitution, which is a good thing. He went within the constitutional limits, which is commendable,” answered the head of the PSD.
The PSD leader added that Nicușor Dan “understood his position as a mediator”, while the prime minister “did not go beyond the position of PNL president with USR support” and “did not understand that he is the prime minister of a coalition”.
