The general mayor of Bucharest, Gabriela Firea, declared on Sunday evening that the outgoing Prime Minister Viorica Dancila, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) for the presidential elections, has had a good election campaign and stressed that all Social Democrats have earnestly been involved in supporting her.
The mayor general, who is also leader of the PSD Bucharest, was asked about the fact that some Social Democratic leaders would make a "counter-game" and would not want Viorica Dancila to enter the runoff of the presidential elections, so that she could be changed later from the PSD helm.
"There have been these scenarios presented in the press, but unfortunately for those who announced such possible situations, the reality on the ground contradicts them. (...) That would be quite shameful on our part: nobody holds us by force. (...) We will have elections for the PSD leadership in a few years, we have a chairperson in office. And I do not think we will be in that situation where someone comes to ask for her resignation. I am convinced that Mrs. Dancila will enter the runoff," Gabriela Firea also said.
