The PSD leadership wants to “clean” the list of general councilors in Bucharest, after controversial candidates such as Petre Roman, Anghel Iordănescu or Mitică Dragomir were included in the list. Petre Roman announced that he is resigning from the mandate of general counsel obtained in the September 27 elections, and so will Anghel Iordănescu, Daniel Pancu and Cornel Dinu, according to party sources. However, Dumitru Dragomir announced that he will not resign his mandate as councilor because he was “elected by the people”.
“I will be a general counsel. I gave a record, I competed everything I needed, I did the meeting … I do not give up. I am an elected body, the people have chosen me,” Dumitru Dragomir told Mediafax on Thursday.
PSD sources assure that in the discussions that would take place on Friday between the party leadership and the PSD Bucharest organization, the issue of the general councilors promoted by Gabriela Firea on the PSD list will also be addressed. One of the solutions considered to force the removal of Dumitru Dragomir from the list of advisers is his exclusion from the party.
According to the Administrative Code, the “loss of affiliation to the political party” entails the loss of the mandate of councilor. However, party leaders hope that Friday’s talks with the PSD Bucharest organization will clarify the Dragomir situation.
Petre Roman has already announced that he has chosen to resign.
“I retired in good agreement with Gabriela Firea, because the projects I was going to carry out were with her, I was no longer elected, the majority no longer existed … (…) I retired because the PSD group wanted to enter into a logic campaign, which I cannot support. I entered with the main quality of independent. So it no longer made sense to do this job, “said Petre Roman.
Former soccer player Daniel Pancu and coach Cornel Dinu are also resigning as general counsel.
According to official BEM data, PSD will have 21 of the 55 councilor seats, followed by USR-PLUS with 17 seats, PNL with 12 seats and PMP with 5 seats. The right-wing parties will have a majority in the Council and the PSD will be in the opposition.
