Elena Udrea admitted Tuesday that she would prepare her appearances on TV and that she was the one to choose the discussion topics.
"Are you here because I have called you myself or because I have paid the TV outlets? No, you are here for the rating. If now, when I am just an MP, I get invited on TV programs, imagine how it was while I was minister. Anyone who goes on TV prepares their appearance, it is the same with Mr. Ponta, with Mr. Iohannis, with everybody. Therefore, the fact that I prepared my presence on a program and I would go where I believed I could say what I wanted, is hardly a charge of a criminal record nature. But we sprinkle the case file with spicy staff, so as to cover up for the inexistent evidence, we speak of e-mails to prepare for TV programs where I was going as minister, because there isn’t any evidence against me except for the statements by some defendants”, Udrea said Tuesday asked about the disclosures made Monday evening on Antena 3.
If the producer of the program would not comply, then the show would be cancelled.
"But today I ask you: who is in the studio and what topics are addressed? If there are certain topics that I do not want to address, either they give it up or I am a no show, but anyone would do the same. The presence on a program depends on what you want to send out at a certain moment. If there are topics that I have no interest in addressing, I will not go.
My appearance in the show of Mr. Gâdea was also arranged, when I pulled out the famous note, it was negotiated beforehand, I would not have gone on a program where I had something to say for Mr. Gâdea to ask me something else", Udrea replied.
Udrea did not deny the fact that the party would pay bloggers to conduct political propaganda on the internet. Referring to the bloggers that Tolontan spoke about, whom he former minister had allegedly paid to post anti-Semitic message, the former blonde from the Presidential Place, replied :
"I read what Mr. Tolontan said, this is not what he said. Having a digital guerrilla campaign is a technique that all parties use since the Internet. They are the famous bloggers. That is, people who have the purpose to correct certain information in the comments that you put behind Internet articles. Again, it is a technique used by all parties. The contents of messages relate to what those who write there think, they do not relate to the party or party leader. Introducing such e-mails in a criminal file has nothing to do with the criminal case. I was not placed under arrest for those e-mails. Therefore, why were those e-mails placed in the file? I would like to see the digital guerrilla of PSD-or of Mr. Iohannis or of Mr. Ponta. What was the message they conveyed in the campaign? Therefore, it is a means to distract the attention from the lack of evidence for which I submitted notifications, also with the SCM and I have filed a criminal complaint for the way in which investigations are being conducted on me. There are no fact to be investigated, to see who committed them, we have people , Elena Udrea, against whom we are looking for everything to charge her with. This is not how an investigations is conducted".
Inquired about the famous Hermes bag that allegedly cost 100.000 euro, the former minister replied:
"With no link to the criminal case, this topic is only brought about to make a fuss and a stir. No, this bag does not exist", Elena Udrea argue.
Tudor Breazu was in charge of Elena Udrea’s bloggers team. The young people operated in the headquarters of PDL, they received money for the comments posted to slandering articles published and the team managed several denigration campaigns against political opponents.
Tests were often homophobic and anti-Semitic and the bloggers of Udrea had no limits. Moreover, Elena Udrea owned 4-5 media monitoring software programs, she knew everything that was written about her. Some software were paid from public money, and others even bribe money that would be received Udrea. Part of the software programs were paid from public funds and other were covered with bribery money that Udrea had allegedly received.
