PHOTO. The country’s cities are littered with banners and posters of local candidates. The Which Part Trick

On March 11, the government approved the calendar of actions during the electoral period for the European parliamentary and local elections on June 9. The electoral campaign starts on May 10 and will end the day before the elections. But most political parties resorted to all kinds of tricks to promote their own candidates long before this date.

Representatives of the “United Right Alliance”, which includes USR, PMP and Forța Dreptei, were the first to set up tents with political logos and future candidates in all sectors of Bucharest.

For example, in sector 6, next to the huge picture of the USR leader, Cătălin Drula, appears the alliance’s proposal for the position of sector mayor, Mihaela Ștefan.

We meet the same situation in sector 2, where the face of the incumbent mayor, Radu Mihaiu, who wants four more years in the mayor’s seat, was put on the alliance’s tents. “No shortcuts. Choose the modern Sector 2”, is the message with which Mihaiu is campaigning on the streets of the sector.

And in sector 3, the first tents appeared in the Unirea shop area with Ștefan Lucian Judele.

Ciprian Ciucu goes for “Yes, it’s possible!” and filled the letter boxes

We change the party and the candidate, but we keep the electoral promotion. In sector 6, the incumbent mayor, Ciprian Ciucu, started the campaign for the local elections on June 9.

Huge billboards were mounted on all the streets in the sector with the message “Yes, it’s possible!”, but without any logo of the PNL, of which he is a member, nor the logo of the coalition with the PSD.

The mystery of Ciucu’s promotion ended when leaflets with the achievements of the last year of office were distributed to the mailboxes of the blocks in the sector. On which the message “Yes, it is possible!” appears.

For example, in the Crângași neighborhood, Ciucu boasts the first nursery built after 46 years, the partial rehabilitation of the Crângași Park, the construction of the Morii Lake embankment, the cladding of 20 blocks, but also the construction of a thousand new parking spaces .

Obviously, there are no shortage of promises for the residents of the neighborhood for the next four years. The rehabilitation and redevelopment of Căia Crângași, the development of 6 hectares of green space, parks and the rehabilitation of schools.

Such leaflets with achievements were also distributed in the rest of the neighborhoods in sector 6.

AUR attacks PSD, PNL and USR with “Blah, blah, blah”

The AUR candidate for the position of general mayor of Bucharest, Mihai Enache, also entered the electoral campaign. The members of the political formation chose variants of the leaflets at the mailboxes.

“Blah, blah, blah” is one of the messages, alongside the PSD, PNL and USR logos. Plus a description of Mihai Enache, “the only candidate with experience and professional qualification in the field of public administration”.

The second contains the message “PSD-PNL is making fun of us”. “They collect, neglect, sell and buy us as if they were at the fair. No matter what solution they come up with, it will not solve our problems in any way, it will only be an answer for political games”, notes the AUR candidate.

Nicușor Dan: “Good things are done with confidence”

The current general mayor of Bucharest, Nicușor Dan, also entered the fever of the local elections.

The most important intersections in Bucharest were covered with signs with the mayor’s face and the message “Thank you”, but also with the slogan “Good things are done with confidence”.

Nicușor Dan displayed in a corner the parties that support him in the local elections, USL, PMP, Forța Dreptei and Reper.

Nicusor Dan quickly became active in the online environment as well. Where he started to post videos of his achievements in the current term of general mayor, following that in the next period he will also launch his new website which at the moment has a simple message: “We are in the phase of receiving the works”.

Among the achievements that Nicușor Dan boasts of is the replacement of 110 kilometers of pipelines, the purchase of buses, trams and trolleybuses.

But he says that “we stopped the real estate mafia”, plus “we got the town hall out of the bankruptcy that the PSD put it into”.

“We build together”

In Târgoviște, the PSD candidates for two of the most important positions in Dâmbovița county displayed large billboards urging residents to “Build together”. Corneliu Ștefan, the president of the Dâmbovița County Council, and Daniel Cristian Stan, the acting mayor of the Târgovişte municipality, offer voters an optimistic perspective of the future, in a county struggling with welfare.

“We wish you a beautiful spring!”

And the PSD Prahova organization stole the start of the electoral campaign for the local elections, Ploiești being covered with large posters with the portrait of the candidate for the presidency of the County Council, Virgil Nanu.

“We wish you a beautiful spring!” is the message chosen by the PSD Prahova organization to justify the placement of billboards three months before the elections. Such panels have been installed since the beginning of March, in the central area of ​​the municipality, but also at the main entrances of Ploiești.

Virgil Nanu is the current prefect of Prahova county, elected a year ago and president of the PSD county branch, being at that time the only candidate for this position.

Nanu will compete against the liberal Iulian Dumitrescu, who recently announced his candidacy, despite the criminal problems he has.

“It looks weird, but it doesn’t break the law”

Did the parties violate the decisions regarding the June local elections announced by the Romanian Government, since the electoral campaign is scheduled to start only on May 10? To this question, Toni Greblă, the president of the Permanent Electoral Authority, admitted that the political formations resort to a trick, so that everything is legal and they don’t risk anything. “It seems strange, but it does not violate it. There is only one condition for the law to be broken, and the parties know it. They do not have the right to call for voting and they do not have the right to display the date of the election. So not to influence the citizen. What could he do on the date when the elections are scheduled. There is no such banner, board, flyer or leaflet that says “Vote me!” or “On June 9…”. Do you understand?”, stated Greblă.
