Social Democrat Viorica Dancila on Tuesday stated that she has the necessary experience for taking over the office of Prime Minister, which she is not afraid of for she is an "optimistic" and "balanced" person, while also adding that "she needs to think positively" too.

When asked about her projects in the European Parliament, she said that these are available on the Website and that she will answer all questions as soon as Mr. President will approve my appointment in office. It is to early to say now," she said.
