Ludovic Orban declared, at the PNL headquarters, that the results of the elections for Bucharest City Hall show that the fight between the candidates was balanced, but Ciprian Ciucu broke away and consolidated his growth trend. “All the polling houses clearly show that it was a balanced fight between the two candidates, but that Ciprian Ciucu broke away and consolidated his upward trend and will most likely be declared the winner. I am convinced that he will continue and complete all the projects started by Mayor Nicuşor Dan and, obviously, he will also come up with his own visionOrban said.
Regarding the appointment of the candidate for the position of mayor, Orban said that Ilie Bolojan made the right decision. “He chose a man who is honest, a man who is honest, a man who has already demonstrated in the administration that he is a man who knows how to perform and he also chose a positive man“, emphasized the leader of the Right Force.
Orban also commented on a possible return to the PNL: “The decision is not only my decision, as far as we, the Force of Justice, are concerned. We are open to opening discussions, there must be openness on both sides. I admit that I had a discussion with the president Ilie Bolojan, in which we found that we are open to start discussions”.
“This result strengthens the prime minister's position”
Regarding the impact of the results, Orban emphasized that they “consolidates the reformist component within the government”. He added: “This result strengthens the prime minister's position, both within the PNL and in relation to his coalition colleagues, with the PSD. I hope that, after this result, the PSD will stop with the strategy they launched a month ago, get down to business, stop attacking and blocking decisions in the coalition”.
Regarding the relationship between the Palaces, Orban pointed out: “From my point of view, today's result only strengthens the relationship between the president and the prime minister“.
