"I filed my candidacy for another mandate as President of Romania and (...), together with the PNL [the National Liberal Party] we submitted over 2,200,000 signatures of the Romanians who endorse this candidacy. It is a huge number and this thing pleases me very much. (...) I am very glad that this action of signatures collection was achieved, obviously with the support of the PNL and those who wanted to be with us. (...) What I want for my country is a normal Romania," President Iohannis stated at the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC).
