INTERVIU Traian Băsescu, reacție după ancheta Recorder referitoare la prezența șefului SPP Pahonțu în represiunile de la Revoluție și din Piața Universității: „E o mare surpriză pentru mine. Cred că e timpul să meargă la pensie”

Traian Băsescu expressed surprise over Lucian Pahonțu's involvement in the 1989 and 1990 repressions, suggesting he should retire.

He emphasized that it is up to President Dan to decide Pahonțu's fate, but indicated that losing his position would be appropriate. Băsescu also commented on the slow response from President Dan regarding the situation.
