Chairman of the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) Kelemen Hunor declared on Friday after the meeting of the Council of Union Representatives (CRU) in Cluj that he is certain that the governing coalition's candidate Crin Antonescu will win the presidential election, informs Agerpres.
"We are preparing for the campaign which will kick off somewhere around April 3. Of course, our desire is to win the presidential election, I am convinced that we will succeed, because this majority is determined to move forward with governing. We are facing some difficult decisions in the coming years, but at the same time we have many decisions ahead that, leaving aside their weight, will serve all citizens. And the guarantee for this coalition, for this majority to carry on, is for us to win the presidential election," said Kelemen Hunor.
He presented the Council of Union Representatives a political report that also affirms that the only option for the current government to continue is for Antonescu to win the presidential race.
"The guarantee that this majority will stay at the helm and that it will put the country in order and will correct the mistakes of the 2024 governing coalition is to have a president who has the parliamentary majority behind him. Any other option means that this governing coalition won't be able to stand on its feet, because the Romanian president does not have the same powers as, for example, the president of France or the president of the USA. (...) If Crin Antonescu does not win, then the life span of this coalition will be very short. Either the government remains or it goes home after the presidential ballot. This is what is at stake for us in this presidential election," Kelemen Hunor told the CRU members.
