Dominic Fritz: “The anti-Bolojan rhetoric shows that some did not understand the gravity of the situation.” The invitation addressed to the PSD for “a moment of honesty”

The President of USR, Dominic Fritz, stated on B1 TV that the rhetoric in the public space against Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan shows that some of the politicians “did not understand the seriousness of the situation”. Fritz says that the social democrats are mistaken if they imagine that the fundamental problems facing Romania would disappear with the departure of Ilie Bolojan from the head of the Government.

“If the PSD thinks that the deficit and the problems we have with the budget will disappear just because Bolojan is no longer there, he is wrong. I mean, let's be adults! What Mr. Bolojan is asking for, that is, to fit the expenses into a deficit that is much too big anyway, but at least it is agreed, negotiated with the European Commission, with the financial markets, this is not an absurd request, this is not a personalized request and that is precisely why I believe that this anti-Bolojan rhetoric only shows that some did not understand the seriousness of the situation”, said Dominic Fritz, quoted by News.ro.

He also criticized the PSD for the fact that, being part of the governing coalition, it called the prime minister to the Parliament, the step being taken alongside the opposition.

“I, to be honest, if I had been prime minister in a coalition with a partner who, through a vote with an extremist opposition party, called me to Parliament, I don't know if I would have gone, because the way PSD approaches this clarification… and, once again, the instrument of calling a minister or a prime minister to Parliament is legitimate, but to do it in cahoots with the extremists, to do it as a coalition partner together with the opposition, that it smells, a little, and it's a smell that doesn't suit us”, Dominic Fritz pointed out.

He is of the opinion that the PSD must clarify, first of all in front of its own electorate, if it wants to be in the government or in the opposition, arguing that “for the PSD, a moment of honesty, a moment of truth would be auspicious”.

“The PSD walks hand in hand with the coalition partners and keeps winking at the opposition. It is not an approach, it seems to me, very honest, it rather shows an inability to make up its mind, to be honest with its own voters. If the PSD thinks its place is in the opposition, let them say that to their voters. If the PSD thinks their place is in the government, let them say that to their voters, but somehow they want to keep this ambiguity, they want to be with one foot in the opposition's boat, with one foot in the government's boat”, argued Dominic Fritz.
