Forecasting the presidential electoral campaign due to take place later this year, Social Democrats leader Mircea Geoana takes a public stand against President Basescu. Elsewhere in the news, one newspaper reveals how several Democrat Liberal politicians use their positions to increase their business profits. It seems that Social Democrats do not let their profits succumb to their positions, either.
Social Democrats leader Mircea Geoana attacks President Basescu, Gandul reads on Monday. Geoana talks in an interview for the newspaper about Basescu's hidden governance acts, before the President's speech in the Parliament today.
Geoana declared that the President should not interfere in the act of governance, referring to his scheduled speech in the Parliament. President Basescu will talk before the Parliament today about a possible foreign loan Romania should take.
Geoana's dissatisfaction comes after his governance coalition partner, PM Emil Boc allegedly lied about IMF negotiations. Geoana declared that both the Prime Minister and the President seem to have decided to take an IMF loan even if the government did not set up a real anti-crisis plan.
The government's main priority is to set up an anti-crisis plan before the IMF delegation arrives later this week, Geoana said. He underlined the inconsistency of the President, who a month ago declared that an IMF loan was out of the question.
Geoana confessed that he was seriously considering to run against Basescu in the upcoming presidential elections but a final decision has not been made. Nonetheless, it is a mistake to transform the upcoming elections in a talk about Basescu, Geoana said. He explained that whoever might defeat him, would have to take advantage of the people's dissatisfaction accumulated over the past five years.
