"The Government will not sacrifice the country for social peace". Elsewhere in the news, Romania’s president accuses the bolshevization of his party. Last but not least, Romanian ex-diplomat Silviu Ionescu, who killed a person and injured other two in a hit-and-run accident in Singapore, was found to have been involved in another road accident in Greece in 2004, while he served as Romanian consul.
"The Government will not sacrifice the country for social peace", Romanian president Traian Basescu said, quoted by Evenimentul Zilei. In a talk show at his preferred TV channel B1 TV, Basescu stated Romanians need to get it that increasing the salaries and pensions would mean sacrificing the country. According to him, Romania was paying up wages with borrowed money. "We've got 4.9 million people working, out of which 1.9 millions are employed by the state". He claims only 1.1 millions were actually producing and had to support 22 million citizens.
The President argued he did not agree with the Government's policy to replace ministerial staff according to the ruling party. He used the occasion to say that PD-L's main opposing party, namely PSD, did just the same and imposed its people when in power.
Traian Basescu accuses the bolshevization of his party PD-L, Gandul reads. The statement was made after PD-L decided to elect its president and four vice-presidents using a listing system. "The President [of the party] is making sure his hang supports him", he declared for the same B1 TV. He indicates that this was an unfair competition and the authority of the listed people would be contested.
