The chairman of PNL (National Liberal Party) criticized on Wednesday the decision of the Minister of Justice, Tudorel Toader, in regards to launching the revoking procedure of the Prosecutor General of Romania, Augustin Lazar, saying that this proposal is "absurd", "stupid" and "lacking arguments".

Romania's parliament on June 12 rejected a motion of no-confidence in the government of Prime Minister Victor Ponta who has been embroiled in a corruption inquiry.

Crin Antonescu, the former chairman of the National Liberal Party (PNL), called the audience at a concert dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the party to defend the values they believed in and the Parliament; he mentioned it was probably the last time he was addressing "such a Liberal gathering."

Calin Popescu-Tariceanu, an independent candidate in the presidential elections, on Monday implied that the National Liberal Party's (PNL) chairman Klaus Iohannis has become Traian Basescu's candidate.

He said that Iohannis is "like an elephant in a china shop" and characterised him as being a "complete novice" in all matters.

The designation of the Christian Liberal Alliance (ACL) candidate to Romania's Presidency will take place on August 9-10, but it is very clear that 'on today's counting' Klaus Iohannis is much ahead of Catalin Predoiu, National Liberal Party (PNL) Vice Chairman Teodor Atanasiu told RFI radio broadcaster on Tuesday.

The political program of the new political party resulting from the merger between the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) was approved on Saturday by the joint Liberal - Democrat Liberal congress.

The National Liberal Party (PNL) Extraordinary Congress has approved the protocol for the merger with the Democratic Liberal Party (PDL), the statute and political program of the new party and the protocol for the "ACL PNL-PDL" alliance (Liberal Christian Alliance)
