PD-L moves its political commentators from
the Cotroceni Palace on the party lists. Sever
Voinescu has announced his candidacy for the Parliament yesterday, along with the
head of the Presidential Common Room, Catalin Avramescu. Traian Ungureanu is
next or maybe even Gabriel Liiceanu.
Sever Voinescu and Catalin Avramescu have decided to show their party color.
After the announcement made in the column in Cotidianul (under the headline
"Goodbye") about his candidacy for the Parliament for PD-L, Sever
Voinescu appeared yesterday in the press conference along with state councilor
from Cotroceni, the successor of Elena Udrea as head of the Presidential Common
Room, Catalin Avramescu. This is who PD-L intends to oppose to Adrian Nastase, in
Mizil, even though the former PM runs for the Chamber of Deputies, while
Avramescu is interested in the Senate. The Presidential Adviser says Mizil is the
city where he was born and the only place where he could run for a position,
because he doesn’t like political tourism, but he confirmed he wanted to
contribute to a "change in the Parliament." "I do not have a
personal war with anybody. I have something against a system. My problem does
not regard the other candidates, but a system. I hope I can contribute to Romania's
comeback on the decent direction. Why PD-L? Because I think that we must get a
majority in these elections to be able to make a change", Catalin
Avramescu explained. Avramescu announced that he would not resign from Cotroceni
during the campaign. Although Theodor Stolojan was forced to quit his role as
presidential adviser when he became a PLD leader.
THE REFUSED AMBASSADOR. Publicist Sever Voinescu, proposed last year by
President Basescu for the position of ambassador in Washington
and refused by the parliamentary committees, will run for the Ploiesti position, in a neighborhood where he
grew up. "If people of good faith do not get involved now, very soon, all
of us, the group called Romania, could turn into a sort of herd of herbivores
walking straight to the swamp with crocodiles", Voinescu confessed his
motivation. Not too much on the money that will finance the campaigns.
Avramescu bets on a door-to-door campaign as well as on speeches that all the
people can understand.
LIICEANU? Adriean Videanu confirmed in the press conference that Traian
Ungureanu could be a PD-L candidate. TRU has been seen permanently during the
campaign of Vasile Blaga at the headquarters on 22nd Modrogan street, including the election
night. He should run for the 3rd District, but there are a lot of other
candidates for this district so he could be transferred to the 4th District. He
denies, however, such an offer, but he announced he would answer to it in ten
minutes in case it appears. Sources in the PD-L showed for Jurnalul National
that Gabriel Liiceanu is also a target. He was proposed to apply even without
having entered the party. They also expect a confirmation from Monica Macovei.
Prigoană wants to abolish the Senate
Silviu Prigoană (photo) announced officially yesterday that he will run for a position in the Chamber of Deputies, in a college in the 3rd district that includes the Vitan Way. Unlike Avramescu, he says he is a disciplined soldier. He aims to abolish the Senate and move the Parliament in the National Library. The other branches of PD-L are also seeking notorious people. Names like Gică Hagi or Gica Popescu are presented to the media. However, the greatest certainties in the capital are Elena Udrea for the 6th District, along with former director in the Capital City Hall, Gheorghe Udrişte, the former boyfriend of Mioara Mantale, Silviu Văduva and the Lasermed director, Dr. Bogdan Niculae. Another doctor, Alexander Ciocâlteu will run for the 4th District, along with former minister Dudu Ionescu. The leader of the Federation of National Education, Catalin Croitoru, will also run for the 3rd District.
