"Madam President, the recurring abuse of power by those governing Romania at the moment has plunged the country into the darkest period of its history since 1989. Although Romania has a democratic constitution, its articles are often blatantly flouted. Although, in theory, there is a separation of powers of state, in accordance with democratic principles, in practical terms, one man, President Traian Băsescu, controls all the power in Romania, dictating his orders willy-nilly and abusing power on a daily basis, all in an attempt to destroy the political opposition and stifle any voice which speaks out to offer a viable alternative to the catastrophic Băsescu-Boc administration.
As a European Union Member State, Romania’s fate should not be treated with indifference by either the EU institutions or the representatives of the other EU Member States, who should take a stance on this issue. Please do not let yourselves be taken in by the incoherent explanations and sometimes embarrassing excuses offered by those governing Romania or those openly supporting them, whether out of fear or looking out for their own petty interests. Their actions suffice to show those who want to see what the sad reality is in my country."@en1
