Tariceanu to PNL: You have betrayed voters; you have no right to talk about legitimacy

"Mrs Gorghiu has spared no effort to talk about legitimacy. You are well advised not to look yourself in the mirror when talking about legitimacy. You, your PNL colleagues in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate have a big problem. In 2012, you ran on the tickets of the Social Liberal Union, then you decided to desert USL and forgot that the citizens voted you because you were part of USL. You have betrayed voters and you have no right to talk about legitimacy. In 2014, you ran in the European elections as a liberal party. After the elections, through the voice of the then national leader, you abandoned the Liberal family, betraying the vote garnered from the voters and switched allegiance to the Popular family,' said Tariceanu.

Senate Chairman Calin Popescu-Tariceanu told a plenary debate in Parliament on a motion of censure against the Ponta Government that the National Liberal Party (PNL) has no right to talk about legitimacy, adding that it is for the first time in the history of PNL when its national leader was appointed instead of elected to office.
