The National Executive Committee of the Social Democrat Party (PSD) has expelled the party's executive chairman and speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Valeriu Zgonea, in an unanimous decision on Wednesday.

"I have witnessed a deeply unjust decision today. (...) I am still attached to the social democrat values. (...) I have accepted their decision; I will not comment it," Zgonea declared.

Zgonea found himself opposed to the PSD majority after calling for the resignation of party chairman Liviu Dragnea, who has been sentenced to a suspended two-year prison term last Friday for frauds in a 2012 referendum.

Before the Wednesday's sitting of the National Executive Committee, Dragnea was asked by reporters whether he could still make a team with Zgonea; he answered, "Definitely, no."
