Social Democratic leader Victor Ponta accused on Thursday the President for coordinating the vote PDL deputies cast regarding Monica Iacob Ridzi. Ponta said that Basescu's objective was to protect the fact that Elena Basescu, his daughter, received some of the money from the Youth Ministry. Ponta added that he will propose to the PSD board to cease all institutional relations with the President.

Ponta accused that Elena Basescu was the beneficiary of the money from the Youth ministry which she used to pay for her campaign. The Chamber of Deputies rejected on Tuesday night the request of prosecutors to investigate former Youth minister Monica Ridzi.
