Deputy Prime Minister Dan Barna said on Monday in connection with a possible run for President of Romania in 2024 that if the incumbent Government is successful, he will be in a position where this option "will be on the table, otherwise, the chances will be "quite small."
He said that if the government is not successful, the chances of having a credible candidacy will be "quite small."
"Pragmatically, if this government is successful, I will be in a position where the option will be on the table. If this government and the governance I am part of and my performance are not successful, I say that the chances of having a credible candidacy will be quite low. And then, that's why I say: I don't want to talk about 2024 at this moment, because not only me, we - Romania, the government, the coalition - have two more years ahead in which some important things need to happen for the country, afterwards we will also talk about bids for the presidency of Romania," added Barna.
He also said that he wants to continue as part of the USR PLUS project.
