The Democratic Party leader made that statement at the press conference of his party that took place here in Bucharest. He added at the same press conference that the attempts of Prime Minister Mugur Isarescu and of Finance Minister Decebal Traian Remes to take the National Bank of Romania and the Finance Ministry out of the case demonstrate the fragility of the banking system of Romania and puts under the question mark the responsibility of the National Bank in the recent past and at present. Mr. Sassu added that the people of this country have no longer any trust in the Romanian banks. Also during Thursday's press conference Mr. Sassu gave the media present the list of the institutions and persons that were able to withdraw their money with interest from the Fund last year and this year.
