The tense situation on a European level has succeeded in getting the domestic party in power and the opposition to sit down at the same table. The leaders of the USL have repeatedly refused to show up for the consultations initiated by the presidency, regardless of the proposed topics. Since the difficulties in Europe are increasingly worse, the leaders of the main parties have decided to provide Train Băsescu with a set of concrete proposals at the meeting scheduled to take place tomorrow at 15:00. The meeting is announced in a press release of the presidential administration: "On Monday, December 12th, Romanian president Traian Băsescu sent a letter to the presidents of the parties and political factions represented in the Romanian parliament, inviting them to come to the Cotroceni palace, on Wednesday, December 14th, at 15:00, for talks on the following topic: The Conclusions of the European Council of December 8th-9th 2011".

The opposition has announced that it will only participate in the talks under certain conditions. Crin Antonescu said there is a need for serious discussions and not just for a parade of the political parties at the Cotroceni Palace: "It has to be said we are constantly ready for dialog with those in power, in other words with the president and, if he wishes, with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. We are not willing to participate in ridiculous ceremonies where Traian Băsescu gets the people from all the political parties to huddle together while he makes them listen to speeches. We have listened for more than an hour to the lecture he made yesterday (ed. note: Sunday), there is no need for another one. It is natural for the dialog to take place between those in power, namely the president and whoever else he wishes, and the opposition, that is the USL, which is the only opposition in the parliament".
