PSD's Ponta: Sova, Vanghelie and Ghita, suspended from the party

Social Democrat Party (PSD) chairman Victor Ponta has announced on Tuesday that Dan Sova, Marian Vanghelie and Sebastian Ghita "will suspend themselves from all positions held within the party".

"Being in a campaign, obviously that image problems are important and more acute. Over the past 24 hours there were attacks to our image (...), we have discussed very clearly and those who made the subjects of the latest public opinion news, Sova, Vanghelie and Ghita, all three will suspend themselves from all positions held within the party, following next the Executive Committee to discuss whether their actions have brought damages to the party image or not. (...) Those who make mistakes must pay. Those who have problems must solve them. (...) We have discussed and have reiterated a very clear message regarding all accusations that were brought to members of our party of late. Our message is clear that they should put themselves at the disposal of the judiciary, and if they are guilty, they should assume responsibility. Nobody will encumber the course of justice", said Ponta, after the meeting of the PSD National Standing Bureau. AGERPRES
