Justice Minister: Băsescu’s affirmations about Ponta are "campaigning statements"

Justice Minister, Robert Cazanciuc, considers that the affirmations made by  Traian Băsescu according to which  Victor Ponta  was a Foreign Intelligence officer between 1997 to 2001 are  "campaigning statements".

Asked how he commented the president’s statement that Victor Ponta acted as an undercover officer while working as a prosecutor, the Justice Minister said:

"These are definitely campaigning statements. At  6.00 (18.00h, editor’s note) we are making a statement, an appeal for a more rigorous campaign, at  10.00 (22.00h editor’s note) we have another statement on ridiculous topics".


Cazanciuc stressed that it is not the responsibility of  the Ministry of Justice to tell if there are or have been covered officers in some institutions.

"It's not the responsibility of the  Ministry of Justice to find out whether or not there have been  covered officers in some institutions, whether there  were or were not in some institutions, at a certain  time," Cazanciuc added, according to Mediafax.

The minister said that, to his knowledge, the only conflict with the law was when "it was about officers who were snitches  of the secret police, those who  did  political police."


"In that case we certainly have a  conflict with the law," Cazanciuc said.

Prime Minister Victor Ponta said Tuesday that Basescu is disturbed and tell lies, after the president accused  him that he was an undercover officer of the SIE.
