The chairman of the National Liberal Party (PNL), Ludovic Orban, says that he does not intend to leave politics and that he is only taking into account that he will win the internal elections, even though Florin Citu "retired" him when referring to the "ugly way" in which the current party leader "chose to leave politics".
Orban added that he had "a very good relationship with Florin Citu up to the point when he submitted his candidacy".
"I did not want such a competition because it was obvious that it would divide the party," Ludovic Orban said.
He added that "there is no secret for anyone that in three months the losing team had brought down the party by 8% in the voting tendency".
Orban also said that he will not be leaving the political stage and regarding the internal elections, he said that he is only taking into account that he will win a new term as PNL chairman, and the first step he will take will be to form a negotiating team with the co-chairpersons of USR PLUS (Save Romania Union - Party of Liberty, Unity and Solidarity alliance) for the latter alliance's returning to government.
