Băsescu attacks political leaders: 'They stumble in decisions' and 'almost betray their country for petty interests'

Former Romanian President Traian Băsescu has launched a scathing attack on the country's current political leaders, accusing them of making decisions outside the constitution and endangering the functioning of the state. Băsescu characterized the political climate as a "maximum alert moment," warning that Romania is facing a major crisis.

“

Unfortunately, the level of current political leaders makes them stumble in their decisions, makes them believe that what is good for them and their clientele is also good for the country, and they think they can impose unconstitutional decisions on the country. In my opinion, we are in a moment of major crisis.

Speaking on B1 TV, Băsescu stated, "Unfortunately, the level of current political leaders makes them stumble in their decisions, makes them believe that what is good for them and their clientele is also good for the country, and they think they can impose unconstitutional decisions on the country. In my opinion, we are in a moment of major crisis."

These politicians, by seeking solutions outside the Constitution, risk collapsing the state, risk making Romania a state without rules. Because that's what they are doing now, they have no rules.

The former head of state cautioned that attempts to find political solutions outside the constitutional framework could lead to grave consequences. "These politicians, by seeking solutions outside the Constitution, risk collapsing the state, risk making Romania a state without rules. Because that's what they are doing now, they have no rules," he asserted.

Both sides, PSD and the PNL poodle party, are treating matters through the lens of personal ambitions. If you cannot set aside personal ambitions in a moment of major crisis, you have no business in political life.

Băsescu specifically criticized both the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the National Liberal Party (PNL), alleging that they place their egos and political interests above the national interest. "Both sides, PSD and the PNL poodle party, are treating matters through the lens of personal ambitions. If you cannot set aside personal ambitions in a moment of major crisis, you have no business in political life," he declared. He went further, stating that the current leaders are "almost betraying their country for petty interests, egos."
