National leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Liviu Dragnea on Wednesday met in Brussels President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz saying that the political adversaries of PSD are putting pressure on the Government to modify election legislation, adding that PSD is considering boycotting this year's local elections.
In a PSD press statement released on Wednesday, during the talks Dragnea presented the political situation in Romania, mentioning that for this year's elections, PSD has started a programme of modernisation and openness toward the citizens.
"Chairman Dragnea also mentioned that the political adversaries of PSD are putting great pressure on the Government to modify the election legislation under an emergency ordinance, which the Social Democratic Party (PSD) finds unacceptable, and the party is considering boycotting the local elections," reads the statement.
Martin Schulz is quoted as having suggested a meeting of the leaderships of the Romanian and German social democratic parties this spring.
Also discussed at the meeting was the refugee crisis, which is a main theme of the campaign for elections to the German lands this March, as well as the latest development in the Republic of Moldova. AGERPRES
