"Oprea will be a lackey of Ponta, whatever Ponta asks him to do he will do, let’s be clear on that. I’ve been convinced of that in some situations. So Oprea will perform orders the way he performed them when he was part of other alliances" Basescu said, according to Mediafax.
Basescu made those statements when asked if he trusted Gabriel Oprea to organize this year’s elections.
"I'm sorry, but for me Oprea is a lackey of Victor Ponta and he will perform as asked to. If Ponta asks him to steal, he will try to steal. Except that it's not as easy to steal as in the referendum and the presidential elections of 2009, because there is no longer only one opposition representative in the polling stations" Basescu argued.
