Gabriela Firea announces that she will not run for the Bucharest City Hall, wishing to continue her term in the European Parliament and offering support to the PSD candidate.

Gabriela Firea, former mayor of the Capital and current MEP, stated that she will not run for the Mayor of Bucharest, preferring to continue her mandate in the European Parliament. In a message on Facebook, Firea emphasized that she will support the social-democrat candidate who will enter the race. Firea criticized the lack of support she had in the previous campaign and launched a veiled attack on the former PSD leader, Marcel Ciolacu, accusing him of betrayal. She also mentioned that PSD would have preferred a single candidate in the Coalition to maximize the chances of success, but the negotiations were not accepted, which could have political consequences.
