PSD Senator Marian Liviu Pop claimed Monday in an open letter addressed to former Liberal leader Crin Antonescu and  to President Traian Basescu, that the two had a meeting in which the "leader of the Liberals was informed that there were  incriminating evidence and records related to the  bribes received by  Cluj County Council president, Horia Uioreanu. 

The  "zero degree" meeting, as Pop called it allegedly took place on February 10. 

Former minister  Liviu Pop argues that during the meeting they allegedly talked about the bribery case file  Uioreanu was charged in.

"We have clear indications that President Basescu had a  zero degree meeting  on February 10 this year with  Mr.  Antonescu whereby  the leader of the Liberals was informed that there were  bribery incriminating evidence and records relating to the Cluj County Council president, Horia Uioreanu. There was only one goal to it, it seems that Basescu asked Antonescu to withdraw from the presidential elections, advancing the option of Ponta - President, Antonescu – premier, a  scenario emerging from Basescu's statements the next day. (. ..) 

Mr. Antonescu, is it true that you were requested to withdraw  from the presidential elections in exchange for an united  right wing under Basescu’s leadership? Mr. Basescu,  do you acknowledge that you  have provided protection  to Antonescu in this case? ",  the press release signed by Liviu Pop reads.

The Social Democrat added  Monday in a telephone intervention on Antena 3, that he had his information from presidential sources.  

"The information comes from the Presidential Administration area, I could not have had them from elsewhere", Pop argues. 

Moreover, the former minister is of the opinion that "starting there on the USL began rocking ".  

To clarify the situation, Pop asked the two to tell if they  really had a meeting. 

"And this is  somewhat related to  what happened the next day, on February 11, when Traian Basescu said he no longer envisaged the Ponta-Antonescu duo, but Antonescu- premier  and Ponta - president," Liviu Pop said.

Horea Uioreanu arrested for acts of corruptions. President  of CJ Cluj is being prosecuted under charges of  bribery, forgery  of private documents and abetting money laundering.

Horia Uioreanu, at  his first term as president of the Cluj County Council, has been a PNL member since 1990, and for a time  he led the Cluj municipal branch of the Liberal Party, then he was  vice president of the county organization.

On September 14, 2013, Horia Uioreanu ran for  the office of president of the PNL Cluj branch, but the elections were canceled on September 20 by  the central leadership of the Liberal Party, unhappy with how they were organized and Horia Uioreanu was appointed acting president of the  branch.
