President unveils reasons to reject Norica Nicolai
The deeds presented by Traian Basescu refer to Nicolai's activity as a prosecutor during the Communist regime and to a fact that took place in 1991. The latter case refers to representing a foreign citizen in an international adoption case, despite Nicolai's position as a prosecutor. At the time, Nicolai pretended that she was not aware of the laws forbidding a state prosecutor act as lawyer. Anyway, Nicolai resigned from the prosecution office during the following month.
The statements Basescu made come after the Governmental spokesperson, Camelia Spataru, once again said that the Prime Minister maintains his point of view: "The prime minister has nothing to discuss with the president about naming a minister. Normally, the president should have signed the decree already".
A press conference was called by president Basescu on Friday night.
