PM Ponta: Iohannis is a poor copy of Basescu; he has no idea about Romania's GDP

Prime Minister Victor Ponta, the candidate in the presidential elections of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) - the National Union for Romania's Progress (UNPR) - the Conservative Party (PC) Alliance on Tuesday evening said that Liberal Klaus Iohannis was a 'poor' copy of Traian Basescu and that he had no idea about economic data such as the country's GDP or the budget deficit.

'Mr Iohannis is a poor copy of Traian Basescu. Traian Basescu had a certain kind of credibility. When Mr Iohannis says 'it seems that... it seems that...' When you want to become Romania's president you cannot come with 'it seems that.' It also seems to me that Mr Iohannis has no idea what he is talking about. If you ask him the value of Romania's GDP, the value of the deficit, the amounts allotted to each ministry, it looks like he has no idea,' Ponta said on Realitatea TV private television channel, referring to the statements of the National Liberal Party leader who on Sunday evening spoke of a series of important modifications of the Fiscal Code for 2015 being prepared by the Government.
