National Liberal Party Chairman (PNL) Nicolae Ciuca said on Wednesday, when asked if he would support Social Democratic Party (PSD) leader Marcel Ciolacu in the presidential elections, that it was premature to discuss the matter, saying that the relation between him and the chairman of the Social Democrats is one of respect and not friendship and that he hopes that, through the decisions they make together, they would not need to "save" each other.
The Liberal leader added that if this coalition lasts only on the grounds of the relation between the two chairmen, if one of them had a problem, then the coalition would no longer exist and Romania's stability "would go down the drain."
Asked if the PNL would support Marcel Ciolacu as a candidate in the presidential elections, Nicolae Ciuca answered: "I think that at this moment it is premature to discuss the presidential elections."
In this context, asked if he would run for president, Nicolae Ciuca said that it was also premature to say anything on the matter, but the statute of the National Liberal Party states that the chairman of the party must assume the candidacy.
