“I have learned about Crin’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race. Strictly political - it was the only sensible option, anything else would only have meant an accentuation of his personal and political disaster! But I feel great sadness and disappointment for a man who was my friend and partner in the most spectacular political project after the 89! I believe wholeheartedly that he could have been a very good president of Romania provided he should have kept up at all costs the USL and its founding principles " Ponta wrote.
Ponta stated that since 2013, "Sorin Roşca Stănescu, Cozmin Guşă and Rareş Bogdan" have pushed Antonescu on the road Traian Băsescu wanted.
"In 2013, when his main advisers became sirs Rosca Stanescu, Guşă and Rares Bogdan, I said dozens of times that these" advisors "will push him slowly and safely on the road Traian Basescu wanted for Crin and the PNL - on the path to destroy the USL and release the public space for other people who were more prepared and "backed up " by various laboratories ", Ponta considers.
The PSD leader also added that he bore no resentments towards "Crin" and wished him all the best.
"I'm mad at myself for not having enough energy, time and patience to convince him of what is now obvious to all! I do not bear l any resentment towards Crin, I wish him well and I sincerely hope he will have the strength to look back with new eyes, and if he accepted that he too bears some of the fault for what has happened it means that we'll meet someday again, on the long and arduous road of politics! "Ponta wrote on Facebook.
