Asked how he perceived the date of June 10 in the light of what happened two years ago, Victor Ponta said that he looked back with " pride".
"Together with Crin Antonescu and Daniel Constantin we legitimized by vote. It was the moment when we defeated the majority of Traian Basescu’s barons (...). We gave people the hope that they will not have to see any more those who have tormented them(...). To me , the way we ended up like this (the USL’s break up – editor’s note) is still a big mystery ", Victor Ponta said.
"Crin Antonescu knew very well that I would have never run against him (...). I have a great sense of bitterness about this. I would be very happy to see the restoration of the USL, but I am not very optimistic right now," Ponta said.
According to the Premier, "Crin Antonescu was manipulated by his entourage."
