„Altogether, I think there were reasons for Rus to resign, reasons that have to do with the referendum administration that fell under the care of the ministry led by him. I hadn't the slighest private discussion, nor official, with him“, Antonescu stated.
„I perfectly agree with mister Rus' resignation. I have questioned his animadverts about me because I wasn't among those who had made public comments about mister Rus. This is about the capacity of the PM and the Governing coalition to make these replacements. From my point of view, the Ministry can have replacements starting even today so that things can come back to normal“, said Antonescu.
