Bucharest Mayor General, Nicușor Dan, has made public his intention to run in the 2025 presidential election. “We are at a turning point in our history, the most difficult after the Revolution. With their vote, Romanians have told us they have had enough”, Nicușor Dan told a press briefing on Monday evening.

The Bucharest official said he will submit an independent candidacy. “I am open to talk with pro-European parties if they want to back my candidacy. Romania needs a president who makes sure the government truly follows the path to reforms that political parties support these days. I am confident Romanian society will take advantage of this unexpected moment to reflect and find the resources to move on, to make the change”.

 

We recall that, after the December 1 parliamentary election, the pro-European parties that secured mandates in the new Parliament (PSD, PNL, USR, UDMR and the group of national minorities) signed a resolution to endorse a single candidate in the 2025 presidential election.  (VP)
