Public appeal of President Basescu for removing Justice Minister from office
"In any country, having the Justice Minister sent to answer to the prosecutors would represent the bankruptcy of the Justice system", said Basescu. "A clever gesture from the government is required, especially to have the Justice Minister dismissed", he added.
President Basescu also emphasized that the European Commission already has one eye on Romania, which is threatened to see the safeguarding clauses activated, a circumstance in which having the Justice Minister prosecuted would only make things look worse. "I am certain that some reshuffling of the Government will take place. It's one thing to have a former minister prosecuted and it's another thing for ministers still in office".
