The Minister argues that the president violates the law, participating and engaging in the elections campaign while Friday night Traian Basescu indicated the debate topics for the candidates in the European elections.
"The president violates fragrantly the constitutional provision on political neutrality. Through his statements and, in particular, by the way he induces on voters his own political option in the European elections, the President becomes an active participant in the political battle, proving that he is none other than the representative of a political interest group. Opening the elections campaign before the legal deadline through his press conference, the president scornfully conveys us that he is above the law, " Minister Corlăţean said in a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE).
According to the Minister, “the president wants to push forth not only a political debates agenda - which could ultimately be understood - but, just like a Soviet commissar he imposes his own options and answers, thus aiming to manipulate the voters options and create the false impression that in Romania he is the only one whose got all the answers and that only his partisans are visionaries and dedicated to the national interest ”.
Corlăţean also says that the manner Basescu addressed the Schengen integration and the CVM topics stands to prove that he is more interested in blocking positive developments in these areas in order to use for electoral purposes such shortcomings befallen on Romanians.
President Traian Basescu said on Friday that it is important to have a good presence in the EP elections, elections that will foreshadow the name of the future head of the European Commission, which can be the socialist Martin Schulz, for whom the "annexation of Crimea was a fait accompli," or the people’s party representative Jean-Claude Juncker.
Traian Basescu said that it would be important to debate in the European elections campaign the reasons for the Commission to be conducted henceforth either by Jean Claude Junker or Martin Schultz, "especially if you look at things in the light of Socialists past statements and actions”.
