Questioned by journalists, the leader of the Bucharest branch had a message for Piedone, specifying at the same time, regarding the message on her T-shirt, that it is addressed to the women who supported her in the previous elections.

“Almost 4 years were lost because if the PSD projects had at least been continued, a decent pace would still have been recorded (…) Why do we have needs? First of all, a hardworking team (…) to communicate with citizens. I want to sincerely thank Mr. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu for his support and to thank him in advance because he will support, I am convinced, all the projects of the Capital (…) In these years, only two sectors were lucky: Mr. Robert Negoiță’s Sector and his Daniel Băluță, the rest of the Middle Ages”claimed Gabriela Firea after submitting her candidacy.

Firea also showed that she is optimistic and confident in her candidature. “I am convinced that the citizens of Bucharest want a dynamic, efficient mayor, who is permanently on the ground, in the middle of the construction sites, who respects the law and the rules and when a problem happens, does not hide in the office“, said the social democrat.
