The Social Democrats claim that the local referendum in Rășinari was organized due to their pressure, highlighting a high voter turnout despite many residents working abroad. They assert that the mayor and PNL representatives initially opposed public consultation, which is documented in a council meeting record. Following discussions with locals, a public consultation was held, leading to a unanimous decision for the referendum. The PSD also addresses accusations regarding a contested expropriation bill, clarifying their role as supporters rather than initiators and stating that the proposal is unrelated to Rășinari. They emphasize that the legislative proposal has been rejected by the Senate and is expected to be dismissed in the Chamber of Deputies as well.
