Traian Băsescu is attacking on Facebook the TV outlets who broadcast shows about the influence peddling case file targeting his brother, Mircea Băsescu.
"You desperate blowers! Antena 3, whose former owner is in jail, Realitatea TV, whose former sponsor is in jail, and Romania TV, whose owner is indicted have launched a crazy campaign trying to link the corruption cases to the name of Traian Băsescu. These TV outlets use the famous blowers to misinform such as Gîdea, Bogdan, Hoandră, Badea etc, but also the fresh blower Laura Chiriac. Whistleblowers are hiding an essential thing: all the institutions that have been subjected to actions of corruption were subordinated to the Government , regardless whether the government’s name was Tăriceanu, Boc, Ungureanu or Ponta, and the owners of whistleblowers are or have been up to their necks in relationships with prime ministers or members of government . You mind the truth, you lying trumpeters?
In turn, the institutions fighting against corruption even if they are not yet perfect, were dependent by the appointment of their management by the President, if we refer to DNA, SRI, ICCJ or about the important decision of CSAT after we declared corruption a threat against national security. This is what I could do as President. Do you mind the truth, you immoral trumpeters, or you cannot admit to them in the names of your corrupt masters?, Băsescu wrote.
The former president claims that his name will not appear in future cases of corruption occurred during his tenure.
"On the other hand, you are angry because my name is not involved in any of the corruption cases made public until now.
I have even worse news for you, my name cannot appear in any future cases of corruption during my tenure as President for the simple reason that I did not get involved in illegalities. Could it be that your despair comes from the fact that I can return in politics? "
