FamilyReferendum Timis: Robu - Generally nonconformist person, traditionalist when it comes to family

The mayor of Timisoara Municipality Nicolae Robu stated on Sunday upon exiting the polling station that although he is generally an nonconformist person, he remains a traditionalist when it comes to family according to AAgerpres.

"Although I am generally an nonconformist person and I am known as such, when it comes to certain things, including family, I remain a traditionalist and I adhere to consecrated values throughout time, as specific values of our people and of other peoples," Nicolae Robu affirmed.

The leader of the National Liberal Party (PNL) Timis underscored that boycotting the referendum is not a good choice.

"I believe this campaign carried out to prevent participation in the polls with the argument that money has been spent for nothing completely lack logic. Money truly spent for nothing would be if the referendum doesn't reach any conclusion, one way or another, but is invalidated," Nicolae Robu added.

He explained that this referendum was necessary because laws can be easily changed, anytime, even through a Gov't emergency ordinance, through a parliamentary majority constituted ad-hoc, whereas "what is established by referendum can only be amended through another referendum."

"I didn't say it was a stringent need for Romania to regulate these things right now, but is we got to the point of a referendum being organised following the signatures of three million Romanian citizens, is it not a pity for this expenditure to be in vain and the referendum be invalidated?," Nicolae Robu concluded.

Nicoale Robu and his wife voted at General School no. 30 in Timisoara.
