Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), said on Monday evening that he has not decided at this moment whether he will run for the Romanian presidency, adding that he will support a left-wing president and does not rule out an alliance with the National Liberal Party (PNL) in the elections. CE Report quoting Agerpres

"There are enough challenges, as you well know in this short term of almost three months as Prime Minister. I want Romania to have a sustainable and predictable budget and all the reforms that are currently included in the National Resilience and Recovery Plan (PNRR), but which are also the basis for Romania's accession to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), to be implemented in Romania. I think this is the biggest challenge," said Ciolacu, on Antena 3 private television broadcast, when asked if he will run for president.
