Traian Băsescu spune că el l-a "inventat" pe Siegfried Mureșan ca om politic. Ce spune despre banii primiți de europarlamentar de la "Pinalty"

Former President Traian Băsescu discussed his role in Siegfried Mureșan's political rise, claiming he gave him the opportunity to enter politics. Băsescu stated he was the first party leader to include Mureșan on a list for the European Parliament elections in 2014. He expressed disappointment over Mureșan's move from the People's Movement Party to the National Liberal Party, citing it as a lack of loyalty. Regarding allegations of campaign financing from Gheorghe Ștefan, Băsescu distanced himself from the claims, asserting he was not involved in party financing and never received money from Ștefan.
