Does she pardon Elena Udrea?
The former counselor of President Traian Basescu would not benefit from a pardon from Crin Antonescu if he had become president.
However, Elena Udrea could be released on condition that she executed some of the punishment, Crin Antonescu told Prima TV, but this is quite something other than pardon.
« (…) Elena Udrea is a very well -known character. I am not a lawyer, I do not prescribe solutions. But I think that a man who has been in prison for some years, who has done, I think, a good part of the punishment, who has a young child at home, could be released on how many others.
The pardon has a different meaning and it is not the case. Although I will use this right when files, documents, absolutely normal people who have been wrong, who have been sentenced, who are convicted, but for minor crimes, not with violence, not with drugs, not these very serious things, will be submitted, « said the Coalition Candidate.
Victor Ponta, an independent candidate for the presidential elections, has claimed, in turn, that he will not pardon Elena Udrea if he will be elected president.
Strictly human, Ponta said, « it would be a good thing to benefit from conditional release, to stay with the child. »
