Dan Voiculescu writes on his blog that he does not expect a pardon from anyone, in a text entitled "Dignity". "I’ve heard that there is an action in progress for my pardon at the request of the citizens. I appreciate their gesture, I thank them, but I am asking them not do it because I have not committed anything illegal. The Criminal Decision no. 888 / A / 08.08.2014 is a decision based on political reasons. In fact, in this case there is no direct or indirect evidence against me. "
The "Meeting Point" producer, Radu Tudor explained, live on Antena 3, that Voiculescu's approach is a brave one.
"I admit that I know nothing about this initiative but it does not surprise me. I've seen polls where over 80% of respondents are of the opinion that this conviction was political. It's a courageous approach. There are two persons who receive this support from the people to be pardoned, it's Gica Popescu and Dan Voiculescu. Behold, faced with this offer, they say "Thank you, we believe in justice, we want to prove that the conviction was wrong and we want to fight it on all legal ways up to the ECHR ", from where Romania receives convictions on after the other for abuses by the judicial system."
