"Madam President, I would like to highlight the discretionary, crony-like and undemocratic style of government adopted by the right-wing administration still in power in Romania.
One of the most recent glaring examples of this is the blatantly arbitrary allocation of public money to town councils headed by representatives of the government’s party.
In the course of allocating funds to town councils with debts, more than half of the money was targeted at the elected representatives from the Liberal Democratic Party. I believe that we have a duty to draw attention to these cases which reflect an increasingly hostile and unfair environment where opposition representatives are also harassed, boycotted by the media and blackmailed.
I would like to appeal to Europe’s institutions to respond to these abuses which are threatening the fairness of the pre-electoral process and of the elections due to be held next year in Romania.
I wish to thank Mr Preda for drawing attention to the elections in Tunisia. I think that in the European Union, we must, first and foremost, say what we think and also do what we say."@en1
