Prime Minister Viorica Dancila has announced on Monday she would run for the position of chairman of the Social-Democratic Party.
“I believe I will run. Right now I am focused on organization (of the coming PSD congress – our note),” Dancila said for Marius Tuca Show.
“I will run, I hope there will be other candidates as well,” she added.
The PSD congress is expected on June 29, ziare.com reports.
Asked about presidential election, she said: “No, I will not run. I believe we should not have this position anymore, that the party chairperson is necessary also the candidate for presidency. I can stand by him, I can organize the party. The candidate should enjoy popularity, This is why I wanted the congress to take place earlier, as all our efforts are to be focused on the candidate,” Dancila added.
