Basescu says no to co-operation with liberals for now

Liberal leader Valeriu Stoica yesterday said that the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Democrat Party (PD) should have a “sincere and serious” dialogue in order to create an alternative to the current governing, but Democrat president Traian Basescu declined the offer for the time being.

Valeriu Stoica said that PNL and PD should think beyond “the party selfishness,” taking into account Romania’s interest at the future elections, when the two parties may present separate or joint political projects.

“In the worst variant, different but joint political projects may be presented,” Stoica said. PD president Traian Basescu is not thrilled about the Liberals’ proposal. “PD goes its own way. We do not have a common ground for building joint projects, at least for the time being,” Traian Basescu told Ziarul Financiar yesterday.
