PNL First Vice-President Dan Motreanu claims that PSD leader Marcel Čolaku is “very wrong when he says that there is a conflict between the PNL and the PSD at the Giurgi County level.” Motreanu states that although he does not want to sign a local cooperation protocol, he supports any PSD project that leads to the development of the district.

“Mr. Cholaku is very wrong when he says that there is a conflict between the PNL and the PSD at the Giurgi District level. I simply did not want to sign a local protocol with the PSD, but I have always confirmed my support for any project of theirs that involves the development of the district,” PNL First Vice President Dan Motreanu wrote in response to the PSD leader’s latest statements.

Motreanu explains that there is no cooperation between the two sides, but there is also no conflict.

“I have no conflict with Mr. Mina and as you saw Mr. Mina wrote about the PNL ministers in his post and not about me and I still sincerely believe that he did it with the approval of the central leadership” – Dan. also stated that they had moved.

He claims that Marcel Čolaku “is also very wrong about the number of mayors who returned to Giurgiu’s PNL in the 2020 local elections”.

“He was probably referring to the 28 PNL mayors from Buzeu county that he won from the PSD in 2014 on the basis of the most toxic electoral decree issued by the PSD, the famous Decree 55, which was later declared unconstitutional, under which mayors, in the middle of their mandate, did not having the vote of the citizens, they could change the party! The fact that some of the mayors of Giurgi who left under Decree 55 returned to the PNL in 2020, and that only after they finished their mandate and presented themselves again to the citizens to be elected for a new mandate, it was only their desire and will,” Motreanu also confirmed.

“The thing that “spoiled” them, as they said, the PSD Giorgiu leadership, provided by the godfather Nikulai Bedalau, also played its role! Moreover, on this subject, I am always ready to publicly discuss with Mr. Cholaku both who had/committed the “first sin” between the two parties, and the “first mandate” of each mayor referred to, and he will see that no one none of them became mayor instead of PSD,” PNL first vice-president Dan Motreanu added.

He states that it is “unfortunate” that mayors are talked about as “an amorphous mass, as a commodity that you move from one part to another, forgetting that each of them represents the community and each has its own personality, its individuality and own project”.

“Finally, I let Mr. Cholak know that he is wrong and if he thinks that statements made against PNL mayors like ‘It’s time to stop keeping dogs on leashes, they should be free to roam in the yard’ can really lead to improvement relations between the PNL and the PSD,” Motreanu also stated.

PSD leader Marcel Cholaku commented on Friday in Braille on the conflict between the PNL and the PSD in Giurgiu county, saying that he reminds the Liberal leader Dan Motrean that he stole 28 or 30 mayors from the PSD before the elections in Giurgiu and look from that point in view of the reaction of PSD MP Marian Mina.

“If we want to turn this coalition into an alliance with the country’s project beyond 2024, I think it’s time to sit down and have a joint alliance for Romania between the two big parties,” Čolacu said.
