"Saying that you would provide weapons in an unconventional armed conflict is a gesture of recklessness that has been sanctioned by everybody right away. (...) It is a highly irresponsible gesture! You must not do that before conferring with our allies", Ponta said Thursday on the "Daily Summary with Mihai Gâdea".
Moreover, the Prime Minister commented the president’s statement according to which Vladimir Putin is a “sick man if he believes he can restore ” the Soviet Union.
"You cannot say he is" sick! "This is about the diplomatic rules that ensures your respect (...). When you hold an office with such a high degree of representation you must be sure that you speak on behalf of the 20 million Romanians. Do you believe that 20 million Romanians want to say "he is crazy, he is sick, he is weak?" We have a Traian Basescu who cannot control himself " Prime Minister Victor Ponta said.
