MEP Gheorghe Piperea was elected president of AUR Bucharest

The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) elected, on Sunday evening, the new leadership of its Bucharest municipal organization and the structures of the six sector branches. MEP Gheorghe Piperea was elected president of AUR Bucharest, a position previously held by interim coordinators appointed by the central leadership.

Mihail Dojana was elected in Sector 1, Andrei Ohaci in Sector 2, Alexandru Marco Niță in Sector 3, Adrian Chiotan in Sector 4, Lucian Mușat in Sector 5, and Paul Gheorghe in Sector 6.

AUR leader George Simion said that change is needed in the capital and expressed his confidence in the new leadership teams. He argued that Bucharest residents face problems, even though, “theoretically,” the city offers a good standard of living.

Gheorghe Piperea spoke about renewing the political class and said that, in a representative democracy, the governing elites must be elected by the people and act in their interest. His election marks the establishment of a complete political leadership for the AUR Bucharest organization.
