Romanian Social Democrat Leader Is Party’s Best Presidential Candidate

Romanian social democrat Adrian Nastase said Tuesday that party president Mircea Geoana would make the party’s best candidate for the presidential elections, reckoning that if he is to win, he must leave no impression of a “deal” with Traian Basescu.

Nastase said early March that he would like to run for president, but not while PSD is in the governing coalition with the Democrat Liberals (PDL), and only if the party nominates him. He noted that, in the current context, Mircea Geoana is the best candidate on behalf of the party, as he is also its leader, just like the other potential candidates.

Nastase said that Geoana will have his and the party’s full support if he decides to run for president, but that Geoana must send clear messages and not come under suspicion of a “deal” with acting presidentTraian Basescu.

PSD president Mircea Geoana said in a press conference last week that, in his opinion, the elections will have a run-off between a candidate from the democrat liberals and one from the social democrats. He said that if the party chooses him to run for president, he will do so with “great energy”.
