PSD will come out first in competition with other parties, PM Ciolacu says

Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu declared on Tuesday that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) will come out first in the upcoming elections in the competition with the other parties, but that does not mean that it will automatically give the prime ministers, if he is elected the country's president.

Ciolacu was asked if he maintains his idea of not appointing a PSD prime minister in case he is elected president of Romania.

"PSD will be part of the future governing coalition. You respect the Romanian's vote. I said that the next years for Romania are the most important years of development. I wish that in the next years we enter into a logic of overcoming hatred. Traditional politics has this approach of hating and going to the polls to vote against someone, not for what he did, not because he managed, not because he worked. To be against someone - something that dominated us in all the presidential elections of the last 20 years. I have come up with a very clear explanation that power will have to be shared in the next period. This sharing will be decided by the Romanians. At this moment, I believe that the PSD will come out first in the competition , but that does not mean that PSD will automatically give the prime minister," Ciolacu declared for local TV broadcaster Romania TV.

The Prime Minister stated that PSD will automatically be in government, and "power must be shared".

"I assumed this first of all in front of my colleagues. That's what I think, that's what I believe is right for Romania. We have seen when the power was in the hands of a single man, we have seen when a man had the ambition to have 'his own government' where it has gotten to (...) We have seen where this desire to rule everything leads. It has never led in the right and good direction. I am firmly convinced - my colleagues have understood the message very well, because both they and I want what's best for Romanians and Romania," he said.
