Liberals to Boycott Presidency

Liberal deputy George Scutaru took attitude today against president Basescu’s intention to nominate a social democrat (PSD) senator as chief of the Romanian Information Service (SRI). Scutaru said that the Liberal Party would vote against the presidential suggestion.

“In his electoral campaign, Basescu promised to fight all the represented by PSD, against their corrupt system. We won’t be part of this lie”, said Scutaru.

The Liberal threats went even deeper. The deputy reminded that the Liberal - Democrat protocol forbids any collaboration with the main opposition party, PSD. In case Democrats break the treaty, Liberals say they would feel free to do the same, thus giving the signal for the first truly deep and structural crisis in the in governing alliance.
