POLITICS - November 23rd 2004
SDP+HPR National Unionâs candidate for Presidency, Adrian Nastase, stated that the Union hopes to reach such an electoral score to permit it the Government forming without any other political formation being necessary.
"We donât intend forming the Government together with GRP", said Adrian Nastase, in Cluj-Napoca. On the other hand, the SDP (Social Democratic Party) leader said he didnât decide about GRP (Great Romania Party): "It is an opinion; I didnât take any decision because that the electors will give us 51% of the parliamentary mandates and, this way, we should form the Government alone".
Even though during the last two weeks the SDP executive president, Octav Cozmanca, insisted on a possible co-optation of some NLP members for governing if the National Union SDP+HPR wins the elections without having the necessary majority, Nastase refuted this hypothesis.

Adrian Nastase talked again about the possibility that the former Internal Affairs Minister, Ioan Rus that quit from his job before the local elections could come back in a ministerial function, if the Union wins the elections. "Ioan Rus will have quite an important role taking into account that, during the electoral campaign, he proved he is the strongest SDP exponent in Transylvania", said Nastase. In his turn, Mircea Geoana, named as the PM candidate by the National union SDP+HPR, stated that "Ioan Rus, is and will be part of the team". "Ioan Rus is a serious person who fought for the interest of the Ardeal region and of Romania, in Bucharest, and we care a lot about him, as a partner", said Mircea Geoana.
