PM Ponta reacts for the first time regarding Dragnea – Ghi?? tandem to run for the ruling party leadership. While in Medias, Cara? Severin on Thursday Ponta was asked to comment on the information. “I am PSD leader for now, I’ll keep you posted after that”, the premier answered, referring to the fact that any discussion about party leadership must take place after the presidential elections. Ponta said that PSD members who think he has already won presidential elections and discuss about his successor at the party’s helm are all wrong. He also commented Opposition leaders are wrong, too, as they already see themselves presidents, by gambling on the fact that “DNA (National Anti-corruption Direction) will destroy Ponta and PSD”.
As for PSD honorary president, Ion Iliescu, he told Gândul online daily that he doesn’t know Sebastian Ghi?? at all. “It is not the first time this party update brings along new people, but this is for the party and its bodies to judge”, Iliescu said.
