Possibilities - The J.T. Alliance Doesn’t Say a Definite No to GRP Collaboration

After stating in the Permanent Delegation of NLP (the National Liberal Party) that the J.T. (Justice and Truth) Alliance doesn’t have to eliminate from the beginning a collaboration with SDP (the Social Democratic Party), liberal Senator Norica Nicolai stated that a collaboration with GRP (the Great Romania Party) isn’t something to put away by her political formation either.

STRATEGY. Norica Nicolai doesn’t want to eliminate the negotiation possibilities of the J.T. Alliance.

After the evasive statements of the NLP-DP (the Democratic Party) Alliance leaders, which didn’t take any firm decision regarding a possible cooperation with GRP, liberal Senator Norica Nicolai and democrat Deputy Radu Berceanu stated on Wednesday that the J.T. Alliance doesn’t say a definite no to a collaboration with GRP. This is in case Traian Basescu wins the presidential elections. However, they stated that no negotiations started yet. "We are willing to collaborate with all the political forces that want to support Romania’s integration in the EU. Until now, we haven’t started any negotiations, but we cannot see things in black and white only. Do you mean there has been any other collaboration with GRP which ended in white, and this one will end in black?", Norica Nicolai rhetorically asked. She also said she doesn’t want to talk about political person Corneliu Vadim Tudor, but that she sees him as a "formal" pamphleteer. She also said that Traian Basescu is accepted in an equal manner by 200’s voters of Ion Iliescu. "A voting analysis showed that Traian Bazescu’s pool hasn’t remained the Alliance’s traditional one, many votes being won from Ion Iliescu", she explained. DP Deputy Radu Berceanu also stated that, from his point of view, he doesn’t shut out the possibility of a collaboration with GRP. "I don’t believe it is a normal thing for some people to be seen as bad and for others to be seen as bad no matter what they do. GRP, for example, hasn’t done anything bad lately. In the last 8 years, since I took part in the Europe’s Council, I didn’t hear anyone saying that GRP or DUHR (the Democratic Union of the Hungarians in Romania) are extremist parties", said Berceanu.
