In response to related attacks launched by former communist dissident and poet Mircea Dinescu, the president's wife, Maria Basescu, who has so far kept a low profile, released an open letter in which she rejected claims she had been hit by her husband.
U odgovoru na napade koji su zbog toga usledili od strane bivšeg komunističkog disidenta i pesnika Mirčee Dinesku, predsednikova supruga Marija Basesku, koja se do sada držala po strani i u senci, objavila je otvoreno pismo u kome odbacuje tvrdnje da ju je muž tukao.
