"Many of you backed another solution than the left wing. I think that, with the political solution I backed in December, I have disappointed many of you. Please know that I have disappointed myself as well,” Basescu told Romanians in Paris.

He added that he backed the ruling center-left coalition to ensure political stability in Romania.

"At a time when the crisis was approaching, I could have stuck to my principles and pushed the country toward political instability. I chose to sacrifice my own political beliefs rather than push Romania toward political instability,” Basescu concluded.
