PMP Chairman, former President Traian Basescu has announced on Thursday he will run for a Senator seat, adding he is not ashamed to run in Bucharest after two terms as mayor general and two terms as president.

“Senator Traian Basescu would bring to the Senate his entire accumulated experience during the five governments he was member of, as mayor general and as president of Romania for ten years. These entire experiences will serve the Senate, the party, the country, my whole life I have served the state, including the time when I was ship captain,” the PMP chairman said when submitting the party’s electoral lists to the Municipal Electoral Bureau.

The former president said he is not ashamed to run in Bucharest. “I believe I have left something behind me in Bucharest while I was mayor general; the tram line 41, metering at the staircase is working, the Basarab overpass, 120 km of tramlines, 110 modernized schools. I am not ashamed to run in Bucharest,” he said.

Basescu added he hopes that during the next legislature the parliament will have 300 MPs, the education law will return to the initial document and the health law filed by PMP will be voted by parliament.

I am in late 50s, great age to become a philosopher! Yet, I am doing my job in journalism, trying to deliver clear and accurate information to our readers, be them expats in Romania or people living abroad and interested in the developments taking place here.
I worked for several important newspapers, attended a Reuters scholarship, had collaborations with Al-Jazeera and Intelstrat. As journalist, I had the opportunity to interview several Romanian ministers and the NATO Secretary General at the time Javier Solana.
Anyway, these are old stories, currently I focus on this news website and, together with my colleagues, I do my best to achieve our goals.
I hope most of our readers will continue to access our website. Keep in touch with Romanian realities! Several rounds of elections are ahead, the courts are expected to deliver some important rulings that may change the entire domestic spectrum. We’ll be here to keep you informed!
