Ponta said the PSD remains his favorite party, but he does not want to return to its leadership. He emphasized the need for new leadership that focuses on the needs of voters, not just external demands. He also said that he tried to offer useful advice but was not listened to by the current leader, Marcel Ciolacu. Ponta also launched the "Romania First" platform, which aims to unite the forces capable of pulling Romania out of the crisis, criticizing the polarization of political camps.
