Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu declared on Saturday, on Prima TV, that, mathematically, Cristian Popescu Piedone has no chance of becoming the general mayor of the Capital. He says that Nicușor Dan is in first place, and Gabriela Firea is in second place.
“From my point of view, at this moment, Mr. Nicusor Dan, being also mayor in office, is in first place. In second place is Gabriela Firea, because she converts a lot of the party’s votes, almost 90% at the moment, and Mr. Piedone came in 3rd place. Mathematically, if we are to enter into a logic of political analysts, Mr. Piedone has no chance. I didn’t talk to Mr. Piedone on the phone, it wasn’t a negotiation, I don’t allow myself to ask any friend, the decisions are made by each of us and we assume them, he decides. I told him, let’s put things back to normal. However, the best candidate at the moment for the capital’s mayor’s office is Gabriela Firea”, said Ciolacu, according to Agerpres.
He mentioned that he has known Cristian Popescu Piedone for a long time, that he was his older brother’s friend.
“I have known Piedone since 1992, 1994, 1996. He was and is, I think they haven’t seen each other for many years, with my older brother, with Mihai, they were friends during that time. That’s how I met Cristian Popescu Piedone. During my studies, I worked at a Romanian-Israeli company where my brother was also a shareholder, he had about 10%, and in that context I met Mr. Popescu. To Bucharest. I know his family, I know his boy, he is an elected parliamentarian in Suceava, a very good child, my opinion is that his political path was well defined and he was growing up. I know Mr. Piedone’s wife”, said Marcel Ciolacu.
