President Basescu: 1989 Revolution was confiscated by successors of former communists

President Traian Basescu has stated on Saturday, at the Christian Democratic National Peasant Party (PNTCD) Extraordinary Congress that is taking place in Poiana Brasov, that the Revolution of 1989 was confiscated by the successors of former communists, that are, in his opinion, extremely "toxic" to the future of Romania, because "the world tends give them credit due to their youth".

Traian Basescu has stated that Prime Minister Victor Ponta is the perfect example of the "swindler", capable of saying one thing in Houston and the exact opposite in Beijing, where he expresses his admiration for the Chinese Communist Party.

"This type of pharisees of the young generation is at least as dangerous for democracy as those who raised them, be them Iliescu, Nastase or Barladeanu. They are far more dangerous because the world tends to give them credit because of their youth, and the big problem that we have today is that we do not have the means to explain to the population, to the electorate, how toxic the generation of politicians that has sat in the place of former communists is", said Basescu.

Attending the PNTCD Extraordinary Congress, together with 250 delegates from around the country, is also People's Movement Party (PMP) presidential candidate and chairman Elena Udrea, who is supported by PNTCD in her presidential bid. AGERPRES
