Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) Chairman Calin Popescu-Tariceanu on Sunday evening stated that, most probably, the PSD (Social Democratic Party)-ALDE coalition will discuss about the designation of its candidate for the presidential elections in the beginning of the second quarter of this year.
When asked during a TV show if he would run in the presidential elections, Tariceanu said that, according to the way he understands to do politics, he will decide this together with his partners in the coalition, and also that such announcement will only be made, as they already announced, after a consultation between the two parties takes place, and depending on the offer of the person with the best chances of winning the future presidential mandate.
About the statement made by his part colleague, Toma Petcu, who said that, after 2000, PSD has never won the presidential elections, the ALDE chairman said that it was not intended to be "bellicose."
"Toma Petcu did not make a bellicose statement. He just made an observation, after all, for this is true that after 2000 the PSD candidates never won the presidential elections, but lost them immediately behind their counter-candidates: this happened in the case of Adrian Nastase and Mircea Geoana, and probably Victor Ponta. Probably that the score PSD naturally brings through its own structures, through what it can collect, needs some extra votes. And because of this of course that we should analyze the idea of having someone to run that will represent both PSD and ALDE, in order to maximize our chances of winning the presidential elections," Tariceanu told Romania TV private television broadcaster.
