Incumbent Liberal President Calin Popescu Tariceanu declared on Friday, at the Liberal Congress that his government managed to accomplish what he promised at the beginning of the mandate and that it managed to accomplish in 4 years what the predecessors failed in 14 years even if he could not count on President Basescu's support.
