Ciprian Ciucu, the PNL candidate for the Capital City Hall, stated on Facebook that he expects an aggressive electoral campaign ahead of the December elections, mentioning that his opponents will use "black money" to attack him. He claimed that details from his "perfectly honorable" CV will be taken out of context and used against him, and lies will be spread throughout the campaign.

Ciucu emphasized that his opponents are privileged individuals with financial resources, who have connections with politicians like Dragnea, Năstase, and Ponta, but who now present themselves as "antisystem." He also called on state institutions, especially the CNA, to do their duty. His statements were made in the context of recent information about his professional activity, in which he was involved in managing a significant budget during the period 2014-2017.
