Eugen Tomac tells what Marcel Ciolacu offered him in 2024, just before the elections. “I have never betrayed”
Prime Minister-designate Eugen Tomac claimed, in a show on B1 TV, that in his political career he received several offers from PSD and PNL, which he refused, stating that he preferred not to betray his colleagues.
Tomac said that, before the European Parliament elections in 2024, he received an offer from the Prime Minister at the time, Marcel Ciolacu, to run on the joint list of PSD and PNL.
“I had the option to choose another political path, but out of loyalty to my colleagues, I did not do so. Mr. Ciolacu, a few days before the 2024 European Parliament elections, made me the offer to run for 3rd place on the PSD-PNL list, but I refused him,” Eugen Tomac reported.
The offers started earlier
Tomac said that, when he joined the PD, in 2004, he did not consider that he would eventually become a deputy, with 80% of the votes in the college where he ran in 2012.
“Invitations to be part of the PSD, PNL I have received many times over time, but I have not abandoned the teams I was a part of. I have never betrayed. Politics is not just games or arrangements. That is why I remained for a long time attached to a party that, unfortunately, could not develop politically”, said Tomac referring to the PMP, a party whose formation he contributed to.
Details of citizenship and wealth
Invited to give details about his citizens, given that he was born in Ukraine, a country that does not allow dual citizenship, Tomac said that it is “a pointless debate”. He said he settled in Romania 28 years ago and then took the necessary steps to regain Romanian citizenship.
“I no longer needed Ukrainian citizenship. I went to the Ukrainian embassy and submitted a request to renounce it on my own initiative,” said the prime minister-designate.
Also, in relation to the two properties he has in Belgium – an apartment in Brussels and a house in Charleroi – Tomac said that he bought them from the income he had as a member of the European Parliament, and the money saved from his salary he decided, together with his wife, to invest in a stable real estate market.
