Grindeanu’s retort after Bolojan told him: “Come on, Sorin, govern!” / Grindeanu: “I could tell him that we have governed now too, but we didn’t cut; we certainly repaired what you did”

PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu mocked PNL president Ilie Bolojan on Wednesday evening after the latter publicly told him, “Come on, Sorin, govern!” Grindeanu said in an interview with Antena 3 that the former prime minister is “a kind of motivational speaker” and takes part in “arranged” meetings where he is not confronted with difficult questions about the record of his government.

“I can tell him that now we will govern too, but we will not cut, and we will certainly repair what you did,” the Social Democratic leader said. Grindeanu added that “many people present themselves as great motivational speakers, but they left the country in ruins.”

The retort came after Ilie Bolojan was invited to the program “Starea Nației,” where journalist Dragoș Pătraru asked him to convey the message to Grindeanu. Bolojan said that Romanians are waiting for the PSD to govern and argued that the “noise of the legacy” will eventually die down.
