"I am supporting Elena Udrea out of belief. Do not put me into the naïve people category who think that Elena Udrea can win the presidential election. For me it is very important that Elena Udrea should obtain an acceptable result that can strengthen the PMP, because it is a party too frail which did not want to ally with anyone as you well know, "Basescu said in an interview.
He argued that some of the slogans used by the PMP in the candidate presidential elections are risky.
"I'm not a fan of Mrs. Udrea campaign slogans either , some of them are successful, others seem less successful, in that they are risky and can give rise to interpretations for anything else," Basescu said.
