Basescu: I Wouldn’t Have Hesitated To Dismiss Laura Codruta Kovesi After Constitutional Court Decision On Decree 13
Traian Basescu said Thursday that, as President of Romania, he wouldn’t have hesitated to dismiss anticorruption chief prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi if the Constitutional Court had ruled on the violation of the Constitution, like it happened in the case of government emergency ordinance 13.
”If a President of a country violates the Constitution, he will be suspended by the Parliament. It seems that Mrs. Kovesi is allowed to do that, like she is also allowed to plagiarize without her PhD to be withdrawn, like she is allowed to come up with shows banned by the international legislation in which handcuffed people are taken out in front of DNA after calling the TV stations, like she is allowed to offer documents from the cases to the media,” PMP president, Traian Basescu, told Romania TV station.
