Traseism 2024: Corina Creţu is knocking on PSD's doors

Everything is possible in politics, including the many splits and reconciliations. MEP Corina Creţu expressed her readiness to collaborate with PSD and to continue the activity in the interest of Romania, after resigning from Pro Romania. According to the MEP: "If the PSD needs me, I will respond positively. First of all, because I would like to continue this experience that I have for the country. If not, surely everyone can survive. I would have liked an alliance, honestly, but at the moment this alliance is really no longer possible. (...) That it no longer has a place in Romanian politics is an enigma for me as well. This is life".

The Romanian MEP recalled the collaboration between Pro Romania and PSD:

"We have always wanted a collaboration with the PSD - both Victor Ponta and I. You can see our statements from the last two and a half years. Two and a half years ago, three years ago, Mr. President Marcel Ciolacu sent a letter to the press in which he agreed that Pro Romania should enter the Party of European Socialists, because that's the rule: the oldest party must agree with the most recent party. (...) He was very open then. Our colleague who represents the PSD in PES spoke very nicely that our place is in the family of European socialists. I am 29 years old since I have been a PSD member plus five years of Pro Romania. Basically, I grew up in politics. But there is probably life without politics. I don't know. I try to look in the mirror every morning and think that maybe others can do more and better. My conscience is at peace." Corina Creţu recalled some of her achievements as a European commissioner, including attracting 8 billion euros to Romania: "My help was for the people, for their benefit and I am very proud that I left behind tangible things, for which and today I receive invitations to the inauguration as a result of my signatures. The only country where I have never received an invitation is in my country. This is my biggest frustration and pain, to be honest, because I go to Sebeş-Turda , but I don't think anyone knows that that highway was signed by me". It remains to be seen if the current leadership of the PSD is willing to re-regiment a former colleague who fled the party.
