Liviu Dragnea: I tore up Victor Ponta’s resignation; there’s no point meeting, the airplane is crowded. PM Grindeanu: Ponta criticises sometimes, most of times constructively Former Prime Minister Victor Ponta criticises sometimes, but most of the times he does so constructively, Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said Monday. Asked if he was about to consult with Ponta after the latter’s latest statements, Grindeanu said: “I do not know what you are talking about.” “My concern is to carry through the government programme. I am speaking with a lot of people – so much the better if they are from the Social Democratic Party (PSD) [at rule] – from different quarters as well that help me and my colleagues implement this government programme. We certainly have meetings, we are talking to everybody – I do not think there is any problem with this government related to my discussions with Mr Dragnea or Mr Victor Ponta, whom I have noticed sometimes criticising. I would not say he criticises excessively. Just sometimes, but most of the time he does so constructively,” said Grindeanu. He added he did not speak with Ponta over the past days.
