President Traian Basescu considers that a break between NLP (the National Liberal Party) and DP (the Democratic Party) and the separate participation in the eventual before-term elections would be a big mistake and a political error.
Monday night on BBC, the President took part in an interview in which he emphasized that the correct decision, as far as the political point of view is taken into account, is the keeping of the present alliance of the two parties and their participation as a team in case of before-term elections. "I think the breaking and the separation for the elections would be a big mistake and a great political error. From the political point of view, the right solution is the Alliance as it is for the eventual before-term elections.
I donât believe that, now, a separation of the two parties would be a solution and, from the political point of view, the before-term elections shouldnât be taken care of separately, because these two parties have signed a protocol valid thru 2008, which ties them together. The temptation of saying now that DP is tougher than NLP is wrong. There was a specific fragment in the message I sent to the Democrat Partyâs Convention in which I clearly supported the agreement and the protocol valid thru 2008. In my analysis as a political person, the two parties donât have the right to go separate ways before the legislative elections in 2008", Traian Basescu said. By these statements, Basescu replies to DP president, Emil Boc, who said on the 12th of June that "it would be ideal for us to win the before-term or the on-term elections, to be the party which coordinates the Romanian political stage".
ANTICIPATION. The President also said that, "for now, due to the unsettlement inside the J.T. (Justice and Truth) Alliance regarding the before-term elections, it would be too late to talk about this issue". H
