Former Prime Minister Ludovic Orban accuses Interior Minister Lucian Bode of manipulations, who, according to him, is no stranger to “a special auction of 600 BMWs from a company controlled by a businessman close to a tenant from Kotrochen.”

“Bode held a press conference in which he tried to manipulate public opinion, putting the responsibility for this imperfect procurement procedure on me as well, noting that I signed the government decision 971 of November 12, 2020. Pathetic chosen method of apology. cornered minister. Anyone can go to the legislative portal and read the content of this government decision. You will see that this is a government decision that confirms the necessity and possibility of spending related to the investment project: “Development of a mixed mobile traffic monitoring system for traffic violations.” These purchases were necessary to improve road safety,” Ludovic Orban wrote on Facebook.

He adds that “nowhere in the government’s decree is it written what type of special vehicles must be purchased, no technical task has been given for any of the products to be purchased.”

“All responsibility for the organization of the auction and its falsification lies with the minister and others involved in the procurement process. It is obvious to any reasonable person that the technical conditions in the tender documents were deliberately introduced with the purpose of illegally excluding from the competition any other firm, except the firm that was recognized as the winner. In conclusion, the only solution for Bode is to plagiarize the gesture of his former cabinet colleague Sorin Campeanu,” Orbán also wrote on Facebook.

Interior Minister Lucian Bode presented the findings of the Control Authority on Thursday in the case of the purchase of police cars, arguing that the auction was correct. “The entire process of public procurement was carried out by the customer – IGPR – in compliance with the principles of objectivity, transparency and legality,” said the Minister of Internal Affairs, asserting that those who are trying to distort the purpose of some of the MAI projects are trying to obtain political capital “through lies and disinformation” are “little people”, referring to USR leader Cătălin Drula, who criticized the acquisition.

Katelyn Drula claims that Lucian Bode “lies like he breathes”, creating “deliberate confusion between the European funding of the road safety project and the tender organized by his loyal subordinates”.
