Social democrat leader Victor Ponta on Monday said Blair will come to Bucharest in two weeks, adding they will hold a joint press conference Monday, March 26, at the Romanian-American University.
Ponta also said he will go to Paris, France, at the end of this week, to attend a reunion of social democrat leaders in support of François Hollande, France’s opposition Socialist party candidate for the 2012 presidential election.
Ponta saluted Slovakia being close to instating a social democrat prime minister this week and said it is a good sign that social democrats are gaining ground. Voters in Slovakia on Saturday gave the left-wing former Prime Minister Robert Fico a sweeping mandate to return to power after less than two years in opposition. Slovakia’s social democrat opposition won the general election, taking 84 out of 150 seats.
