PSD’s CExn Firea: First CExN meeting to honestly debate issues troublig us

General Mayor of Bucharest Gabriela Firea, Deputy Chair of the Social Democratic Party (PSD, major at rule, e.n.) argued on Friday, at the end of the National Executive Committee (CExN) meeting that it was the first meeting of this forum in which the issues troubling its members were debated in all honesty, according to Agerpres.

"The main gain of the Executive Committee was - as several colleagues opined - that it was the first CExN meeting where all the issues that trouble all of us who are members of the Executive Committee were naturally debated in all honesty, with logical arguments. Nobody had that apprehension that has existed so far and I believe it is auspicious that although this common statement regarding PSD's state was, so to speak, contested, it has also brought a good thing, it has been beneficial to the party," she stated.

Firea further specified that it was a very long Executive Committee meeting but probably also "one of the most dense", at which approximately 30 people took the floor.

"There were opinions for and against our demarche to release a joint statement regarding the state of the Social Democratic Party. (...) The joint statement on the state of PSD was signed - practically assumed by signature by 25 of our colleagues. (...) I am a PSD member, I am the party's deputy chair, I considered I have exhausted the statutory stages when I went public with the statements I made; I had colleagues who have thought alike in many regards," she affirmed.

The members of PSD's National Executive Committee gave a majority vote of confidence in favour of the party leader, Liviu Dragnea.
