"This last Mohican of the PSD is clinging onto a position he got due to a political alliance, not due to election results, because based on political algorithms, the position would have gone to the PDL, which has more senators. The coalition doesn't exist anymore and therefore there is no more deal about this position. In spite of all this, Geoana is holding on tight. I assure you the political and parliamentary procedures begun by Senators who support this plan are perfectly legal and constitutional so there is nothing that could make them challenged and derided," Oltean said.

A PSD spokesman, Deputy Radu Moldovan said his party gives full support to Geoana, even if this means they would block the Senate's activity.
