Advisor to Prime Minister Ponta, Mirel Palada has said Wednesday that President Basescu is hiding things and is lying about the work contracting procedures of the Azuga-Brasov motorway after presidential adviser Bogdan Oprea denied the Prime Minister’s allegation that the President should be notified to the DNA.

Prime Minister Victor Ponta said Monday evening that Traian Basescu notified the DNA about the assigning of works in the Comarnic-Braşov motorway.

In response, Bogdan Oprea, the spokesman for the President accused the PM of lying.

Mirel Palada notes that at the inauguration of the new Minister of Transport, Ion Rus, President Traian Basescu said: "I would like to draw your attention to the fact that you are going into a ministry with problems. There you should be particularly attentive to the contracting procedures of the Azuga-Brasov motorway. From my information corruption has already been committed there".

According to a press release sent to Mediafax, Palada is formally asking the president to provide explanations on these affirmations, saying that Traian Basescu is either lying or hiding corruption actions.

"The President of Romania is in one of the following situations: either he knows about corruption actions involved in a major public infrastructure project and he is not notifying the state authorities – namely the DNA or he used a lie to force the blocking of this project. In other words, he is either abetting corruption or he is lying! Both possible explanations of the Romanian President’s behavior are unacceptable for an official holding the highest office in the Romanian state, which is why I am officially asking him to provide further explanation" ,Mirel Palada said.
