Liberal Dinu Patriciu wrote a letter to Romanian Liberals' president Calin Popescu Tariceanu yesterday, asking the latter to agree to his resignation as president of the Liberal organization in Prahova. According to the letter, Patriciu's decision is meant to protect Romanian Liberals against accusations of business interference in politics, coming from both domestic friends and enemies. Patriciu opined that without open and legal relations between politics and business "there would have been on capitalist evolution we long for." He also mentioned he didn't have to explain himself in front of party colleagues on the honesty and legality of his business activity and expressed hope his colleagues were aware that his statements were true. (...) Patriciu also expressed hope that his decision would be helpful to the present action of Romanian Liberals and to the governing position they had assumed. (R.P.)
