People's Movement President Traian Basescu said on Saturday that Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos risks compromising himself in the absence of measures taken in the case of the officials accused of plagiarism, accusing him and the Education Minister Adrian Curaj, that they do nothing to solve this issue Mediafaxreports.
"We also have an explanation and this will compromise Cioloş, eventually. You stay with plagiarist Toba on your right ,in the Government meetings, you sit next to academician Curaj from the Academy of Security Sciences, in the same government, and you pretend not to see that around there is a gangrene which can only do harm to the Romanian society " said Traian Basescu, at the MP National Council.
The former president also said that the UNPR leader, Gabriel Oprea, is the "PhD studies pillar" in Romania and accuses Education Minister Adrian Curaj, that he does nothing to solve the problem of those accused of plagiarism.
"The PhDs pillar, Gabriel Oprea, up to the more newly joined in the club Buşoi, they are some sad figures of the Romanian political life, trying to define themselves in the elite intellectual group of the country, and they are a bunch of slobs who copy like high school students. Typically, when college or high school kids copy in class, they are expelled. I see minister Curaj guarding these people and he does not dare to transfer to the public opinion not even the full list of PhDs in Romania, to take a measure, how Ms. Pruna wanted to take for great academics in prisons. Curaj does not know how to leave this pot untouched, or it is a hotchpotch of intellectual corruption. This is what these people are. They are not far from the people who steal from the state budget (...) They are plagiarists , with no God! ", Said Traian Basescu.
