​How is it possible to accuse the ruling party of corruption at the customs when this operation was undertaken now, when the same party is ruling? This is a huge intoxicating action. The corruption at the customs was well known and tolerated by all ruling parties since ’90s, President Traian Basescu declared on Thursday at the public radio, RRA.
