PNL first vice-president Ludovic Orban announced that Antonescu is the official Liberal presidential candidate. In the League of Local Elects assembly, Antonescu will hold “his first speech as candidate for the position of President of Romania.” Orban said the official candidacy announcement will be done in a later event, which will be set by the PNL leaders.
“As of today, my mission and the mission of my colleagues in PNL and of Romanians who truly want a profound change for the better is to support Crin Antonescu’s candidacy for the office of President of Romania,” Orban concluded.
