National leader of the Republican Party of Romania Alexandru Coita on Tuesday announced he was running for the office of Bucharest general mayor.
He added that Bucharest needs "something else" and that it deserves "a normal man" for its General City Hall.
"Bucharest right now is a European city that is at its wits' end. It is a city over which dust has settled, it is the city of projects that have been initiated and abandoned, a metropolis that boasts the inauguration of infrastructure projects that had to be completed many years ago. (...) I am from Bucharest: I was born in Bucharest, I grew up in Bucharest, I left Bucharest to study abroad, in the United States, in the UK, in France and in Italy and I returned to Bucharest because this is home to me. The time has come for me to give something back to Bucharest," said Coita.
