The second is that the Grindeanu government adopted the project exactly in the form initiated by Raluca Pruna - should I take it that it was not good? Or that Mrs. Pruna was making projects for ’the criminals’ of the PSD-ALDE [Social Democratic party - Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, ed.n.] coalition, to use the vocabulary of Mr. Ciolos?

Sorin Grindeanu writes : "I am reading that a certain Mr Ciolos, candidate for the elections to the European Parliament, is heatedly trying to show that he has no connection with the initiative on the compensatory appeal. I have two pieces of news for Mr Ciolos. The first thing is that the Grindeanu government adopted a bill, that is, it sent the text to Parliament for debate. The second is that the Grindeanu government adopted the project exactly in the form initiated by Raluca Pruna - should I take it that it was not good? Or that Mrs. Pruna was making projects for ’the criminals’ of the PSD-ALDE [Social Democratic party - Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, ed.n.] coalition, to use the vocabulary of Mr. Ciolos? I do not comment on his tastes, but Mr. Iordache appreciated enough the project of Mrs. Pruna to propose it for urgent approval,"
