Dragnea about the Offshore Law: I did not think it was a bad faith action by my colleagues at the ALDE

Social Democratic Party (PSD) chairman Liviu Dragnea says there is no „bad faith” on the part of the governing partners regarding the talks on the offshore law. He said on Wednesday evening in a TV show in Romania that the referral to the Chamber of Deputies commissions of the report on the offshore law might have been generated by the fact that „there was not a very good communication.” On the other hand, the PSD leader stressed that „The offshore law is a huge law for Romania”, which can create major advantages for the country, including energy independence, cheap gas access and infrastructure development resources.

If the Black Sea gas is removed, the Americans from ExxonMobil and Carlyle will be forced to do the same. For the moment, the intention is at ANRE’s level of discussion.
