PSD vice -president Lia Olguţa Vasilescu said on Tuesday evening, at Antena 3 CNN, that he did not believe in the PSD scores in the last polls, claiming that if elections were held tomorrow, PSD would get between 25 and 30%.
“Certainly, if elections were held tomorrow, I think the party score would be somewhere between 25 and 30 percent. The party also has a very good ability to organize itself,” explained Olguţa Vasilescu, quoted by News.ro.
The mayor of Craiova acknowledged that some of the PSD electorate voted with Călin Georgescu or Victor Ponta.
Olguţa Vasilescu explained that there was also the “confusion maintained in the media” that for the PSD it would be good to enter the second round George Simion, to maximize the chances of the social-democratic candidate in a possible presidential final.
“It was that confusion very well maintained in the media, that it would help us a lot to be our candidate in the second round with Simion,” said Vasilescu.
Asked if it was a strategy in the PSD, as it turned out from an exchange of replies between Alfred Simonis and Marcel Ciolacu, Olguţa Vasilescu explained that he did not know that there was a PSD plan to votes the gold candidate in the first round.
“I tell you that I also had family members who voted with Simion, convinced that it helps us. When they told me, it did not seem very good, but it happened. Because this hysteria was maintained, that if Simion enters the second round with Ciolacu, it is certainly beating Ciolacu. They helped us.
