It is a moment of compassion for me, a very important decision, I want to see if I go to apply for PMB I can really make a difference, I want to see what politics margin we will have, what stomach the Bucharest people have for reforms,” he said, quoted by News.ro.

The mayor claimed that if he cannot make reforms, he will choose not to run: “If I go there just to stay for nothing, thank you, no!”

Ciucu added that the discussion about a candidacy for the Capital City Hall is “very serious” and that it will probably make a decision in the next month.

“It is a strong, very serious discussion, I know it is this expectation from me to apply, I know that I enjoy support in Bucharest, I thank people for trusting, but we will order a survey and in the next two to three weeks-a month, when such a campaign will be prevented, I will not announce:
