Ciprian Ciucu, about the race for the Capital City Hall: "I am waiting for a PSD-AUR deal. It has happened before, it wouldn't be a novelty. Some discussions have been started under the table."

Ciprian Ciucu, the mayor of Sector 6 and the PNL candidate for the Capital City Hall, stated that it would be a major mistake for the scandal within the coalition to influence the electoral campaign for Bucharest. He emphasized that he expects collaboration between PSD and AUR, mentioning that, although he has no concrete evidence, his information suggests discussions between the two parties. Ciucu stated that he will run a positive campaign, focusing on his program, without dirty or unaccountable attacks. He also commented that the presence of several candidates from the coalition is beneficial, avoiding the formation of opposing political blocks.
