Loading ...In a speech to a joint meeting of Parliament on Monday, President Traian Basescu urged the Romanian political class to display solidarity and responsibility and approve the measures required for diminishing the effects of the ongoing economic crisis and for securing the modernisation of the country.
The President insisted that bold and sweeping structural reforms are required to be taken as soon as possible and in the most ordered manner, saying the Romania is a country that faces a huge social and economic gap separating it from the other European Union member states.
"State reform is the operative word. If reform were not carried out, no Government and no large majority would justify their existence before the citizens. A modernised Romania can come out stronger from the global economic crisis," said Basescu, adding that Parliament should become a more active participant in securing consistency for Government action.
The President added that the incumbent Government, which enjoys a 70-percent parliamentary majority, has to be geared toward diminishing the effects of the crisis, toward dialogue with the citizens and also toward modernising the country. He also said that this Government can be Romania's chance of overcoming the crisis at small costs that are also fairly distributed.
