Tăriceanu: President Băsescu is on an ongoing political campaign and denigrates everything out of his influence reach

Călin Popescu Tăriceanu  considers that president  Băsescu is in an ongoing political campaign  trying to denigrate everything lying outside  his influence  reach. The Senate president recalls that   Băsescu argued in  2008 that political will was enough to increase the teachers’ salaries.
„I believe the president is in an ongoing campaign, not electoral but political whereby he attempst to denigrate everything lying outside his influence reach”, Senate president stated quoated by Mediafax.

Tăriceanu 
referred back to 2008 and added that although he opposed teachers’ salaries  increase by 50%, Traian Băsescu considered at the time that political will was enough to enact  this measure.

"Let us remember, I  believe people do not have such a short memory. You do  remember that back then it  was the subject of an  enormous pressure on the topic of  teachers’ salaries increase, although we approached the elections campaign or were at  the limit, I had the courage to say that such an increase is not possible. Of course a very  unpopular thing to do, but necessary. I took these risks and the results that we obtained in the elections must have been  influenced by this decision we took, because basically the PNL only registered  20% ", Tăriceanu stressed.

"At the same time, I would like to remind you what the president said at the time, that political will was enough so that salaries should be increased by 50%. (...) In the summer of 2010, the presidential elections had passed, the president had been elected for a new term, and then what happened? Not the salaries  increase the President  had promised, but a 25% reduction of salaries of all public servants. So that is the history with  Mr. Basescu. The rest spares me from further comments " Senate President said.

About the performance of Prime Minister Victor Ponta and Minister of Finance, Ioana Petrescu, during the  consultations with President Traian Basescu,  Tariceanu wanted to clarify that he spoke with the Prime Minister, and the fiscal, economic measures are the exclusive prerogative of the Government.
