Liberal leader Florin Citu on Tuesday evening stated that those who now want PNL (National Liberal Party) to have a congress are the "enemies" of the party, and they "are not inside the PNL."
Asked how he commented on the fact that there were dissatisfactions from some PNL branches regarding the number of offices obtained, he replied: "In this negotiation with PSD, PNL had 17 prefects by algorithm. I left the negotiation with 18 prefects. So it's clear, regardless of what anyone else can say, that this was a success, to have one prefect more. But considering how they are divided between them of course that you cannot have 18 prefects and please 48 branches. Some of these branches are going to be less pleased. (...)"
Regarding the three names circulated as possible successors to the party leadership: Ilie Bolojan - Bihor, Iulian Dumitrescu - Prahova, Dan Motreanu - Giurgiu, Citu said that these are people with experience, who have proved real Liberal qualities, and if they want to run they can do it at the next congress of the party, in 2025.
