Not the back party machine, which says a certain leader or another about him.
It is indeed a very important moment. We see the first time as two candidates, reaching the second round, come and face. All the more important the discussion of tomorrow night (Thursday, no), as much as George Simion, until the first round, refused any kind of debate.
The debate will take place in a prestigious place of Romania and Bucharest, Politehnica Bucharest. It is a place with great load, dedicated to education.
