Grindeanu attacks Nicuşor Dan: Lying polls and poisoned proposals

„His strategy is a simplistic one: to pressure pro-European candidates to step aside in his favor. This is what happens when you have no concrete program that people will vote for! The easiest thing is to go solo, right?” Grindeanu said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.

Grindeanu accused Nicuşor Dan of manipulation: „Following the classic recipe, he first misled public opinion with lying polls, claiming there was a great danger of a final between two isolationists, while strategically placing himself in third place with just a small gap. He created the Piedone boogeyman scenario, remember! Then, he launched poisoned proposals to Crin Antonescu and Elena Lasconi, asking them to step aside and support him in a dystopian fight against Simion and Ponta,” the PSD leader explained.

He argued that there is indeed a danger, but that „the only candidate capable of overcoming isolationism and keeping Romania on the right track is Crin Antonescu.”

Ruptură totală între Elena Lasconi și Nicușor Dan: Nu mă mai pot uita cu încredere la un astfel de individ

Grindeanu stated that the only candidate who should withdraw is Nicuşor Dan: „He should return to the Mayor’s Office, the position he was elected for! Maybe the hot water will come…”, added the Social Democrat.

Nicuşor Dan announced on Tuesday that he would be willing to negotiate with Elena Lasconi and Crin Antonescu to avoid a final round between Simion and Ponta.
