Marcel Ciolacu emphasized that, together with Mihai Tudose and Sorin Grideanu, he nominated since the summer who will enter the second round of the presidential elections, and from the data the party currently has, the result is confirmed. He did not mention any names regarding the candidate he is referring to.
In statements made at the PSD headquarters in Kiseleff, 90 minutes before the polls closed, Marcel Ciolacu praised the voter mobilization and stated that he had guessed who would enter the 2nd round.
“I’ll tell you a secret. All three of us, since the summer, said who would enter the 2nd place. From my point of view, it is confirmed. Let’s see the vote from the diaspora”, declared Marcel Ciolacu.
He did not mention any names, but asked by journalists if the “Călin Georgescu surprise” will be recorded.
“It’s not a surprise. I am sorry to the coalition partners that such a campaign with attacks on the family leads to this. I took them, harder for the family. They will see what they got from this style of campaign”, stated Ciolacu.
Asked by a journalist “what is the attack on the family”, Ciolacu left the statements nervously answering: “Are you really laughing at me?”.
