Ridzi, who is accused of alleged misappropriation of state funds, also said her family cannot take the pressure anymore and that her mother already fell ill.
Romania’s Chamber of Deputies decided late June to set up an inquiry committee to probe allegations of fund misappropriation against Ridzi.
The allegations were forwarded by liberal MPs, who claimed Ridzi mishandled money allocated for organizing the celebrations on Youth Day.
After analyzing the case, the parliament committee recommended Ridzi be dismissed and requested prosecution proceedings on charges of embezzlement and abuse of office.
