Romania’s Leftist Opp Leader To Quit If ‘08 Elections Return Low Scores

Geoana added he would have considered resigning if the social democrats had obtained a very low score in the recent elections for the European Parliament.

 

He said that after the referendum on the impeachment of President Traian Basescu, PSD came to hold 13% of voters’ options, adding that the party’s 23.11% score in EP elections was good.

 

“If I am not capable, as party leader, to secure my party’s victory in legislative elections, I will resign immediately. I found the party on the number one spot, and I plan to leave it on the number one spot,” Geoana said, adding the same goes for local elections.

 

“If we get a low score in local elections, but that is not the case, I will resign immediately, yes,” he said.
