Traian Băsescu: ”Nicușor Dan este în afara Constituției deoarece pune o condiție ridicolă pe care Constituția nu o prevede. Cere partidelor să-i garanteze înainte de vot existența celor 233 de voturi”
Former President Traian Băsescu criticized Nicușor Dan's request to parties for guarantees of parliamentary support, claiming it violates constitutional provisions. Băsescu argued that the Constitution does not allow the president to transfer the responsibility of appointing a prime minister to parties. He described Dan's demand for assurance of 233 votes as ridiculous, emphasizing that such guarantees can only be established after a parliamentary vote.
