Presidential runner Ponta: With Iohannis as head of state Romania will turn back time to 2010-2011

Presidential contender of the alliance of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the National Union for Romania's Progress (UNPR) and the Conservative Party (PC), incumbent Prime Minister Victor Ponta, on Wednesday evening said at B1 TV private television channel, while participating in a debate with opponent Klaus Iohannis, presidential endorsee of the Christian Liberal Alliance (ACL) of the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL), that Romania will turn back time to 2010-2011, if the current mayor of Sibiu City is elected president.

"You saw this picture many times, with Boc, Blaga, Mihai Razvan-Ungureanu, Videanu, Falca, Fluture, side by side, you only have to remove Mr Basescu from this picture and replace him with Mr Iohannis. Romania will look again like it used to look back in 2010-2011. Only that you cannot use the same people again: "it's a sign of madness to believe that applying the same methods you may get a different result." with the same people, the same ingredients, the result cannot be but the same," Ponta said.
