Marcel Ciolacu, For Freedom: “Gabriela Firea’s place is in the front line of the Social Democratic Party. I would have liked to give up her place” | News, News Romania | Freedom

Starting at 9:00 p.m., we learn together what the results of the exit polls carried out by CURS-Avangarde say about the possible winners of the elections in Bucharest and in the big cities.

After analyzing the presence at the end of the 14 hours of voting and the results of the polls since the closing of the polls, we listened together to the statements of the Bucharest candidates accredited at the polls at the exit with the greatest chances of winning sector and functions of the general and local councilors.

I wait for you on Sunday, on libertatea.ro and on the Facebook page, to draw together the conclusions of the first elections in the pandemic.

“I think the day looked better than we expected or could have. At first glance, the pandemic did not play a major role in the way the voting was conducted. I think things went pretty well overall. I had more incidents than in previous years, at least that’s my impression, several attempts at electoral pinch, but, in general, I think I did not have a problematic vote at the level of the entire country, “said Dan Duca.

In turn, Costi Rogozanu said: “There is no other explanation for this boring day than a boring electoral campaign. Overall, if you look at the country, this one-round vote dramatically reduces the tension. What I saw, the small irregularities throughout the country, are generated rather by the desperation of some who even risk losing on a tour ”.

On the fact that the voting at the mobile polls was four times higher than in the previous elections, he said: “Not only are there many people with coviditis, but there are many older people who do not want to take risks. Twenty years ago, when we entered the press, the mobile ballot box was something of a mystery, leaving it empty and returning full of favorable votes for the right people. I did not have that impression. Everything seemed normal to me. ”

One of the wonderful news with this victory for Dan is that the callous style of political public relations practiced by his opponent was also defeated. I am not saying that the liberals had not bought with force from the press, but not exactly as Firea did, which even entered their opposite television stations where it flew without problems. This style of campaign has generated a clandestine hatred that is not seen in the polls.

Costi Rogozanu, journalist from Libertatea:

Regarding Nicușor Dan, Costi Rogozanu said: “I didn’t see a clear plan for Bucharest and something spectacular.”

He added that “the signal is that we will have liberal hegemony or liberal URS for many years, at least four years. It doesn’t necessarily mean something extraordinary. ”

The social democrat Vasile Dîncu declared, exclusively for Libertatea: “I would like to wait, because there were only two exit polls. Of these, one had a difference of only one percent. These days, it is very difficult to do an exit poll, even if you have an operator at the polls. Many people stop approaching the questioner, try to do a much greater distance than normal, and then the samples cannot be done perfectly. I am confident in what my colleagues are doing, but I want to wait for the vote count. I have a feeling it’s not exactly how we saw it tonight. “

He explained that Gabriela Firea was absent from PSD headquarters when the exit ballot boxes were announced for the local elections: “We have established a different communication style and a different commitment style for our actions. Once upon a time there were demonstrations of triumph, they tried to show signs of victory even if you lost. . Now she has decided to start a new stage in the communication of the party. We want to communicate specialized, find specialized people who communicate in each field. We don’t want to do too many communication rituals, because we have a lot to do to modernize the party.

The old practices in which this square was filled, this headquarters with all kinds of people celebrating or having a kind of party, whether it was victory or not, will no longer be in our actions. We will no longer communicate to show something, convince and create current. We want to communicate with more numbers and rely heavily on the truth. I believe that in politics you can communicate honestly and not necessarily always looking to give birth to emotion. Gabi Firea stayed there to lead her team, because now is a very important moment. We believe that internal solidarity is something important. “

In turn, exclusively for Libertatea, Marcel Ciolacu stated: “Gabriela Firea was with us! I had a telephone conversation, I was at the campaign headquarters. I warned him that there was no point in him coming, sitting with his teammates for the official parallel count of the match. I had the same discussion with the mayors of the sector ”.

My greatest pleasure would have been to make way for Mrs. Gabriela Firea, a politician who wants the good of the party. Gabriela Firea’s place is in the front line of the Social Democratic Party. We would not have achieved this political score in Bucharest without Gabriela Firea. However, she fought with a united right.

Marcel Ciolacu, president of PSD:

“Let’s wait for the official scores. For the moment, what I am very clear about is that we have the highest score in the political vote, almost 15 percent more than the National Liberal Party. This shows us that the Social Democratic Party is on the way. correct at this time, the path of reconstruction and modernization, ”the PSD leader also said.

He sent a message to the rivals of the PNL: “Let’s make a difference between the local elections and the general elections, where I cannot wait for the National Liberal Party.”

Marcel Ciolacu also said that he is waiting for the ALDE and Pro Romania politicians in PSD: “If they want to make a merger with the Social Democratic Party, it seems to me the wisest decision they can make.”
