Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan said he is not going to support any particular candidate before the first round of the presidential elections in Romania, explaining that he wishes to preserve support and a certain neutral position versus all the right-wing parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is still a month until the election, but as I mentioned before, it is difficult for me to publicly endorse any candidate when my priority is to secure a majority in the Council,\u201d Dan stated, highlighting the challenges of publicly backing a candidate when cross-party collaboration is crucial for his administration, as reported by Bursa.ro<\/a>.<\/p>\n When questioned whether endorsing a right-wing candidate could risk the support of other council members from right-aligned parties, Dan clarified that his position goes beyond any individual endorsement.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just about fear of losing support,\u201d he said, \u201cbut rather about maintaining an equidistant partnership with all parties that contribute to the Council\u2019s majority.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite refraining from overt support for a single candidate, Nicusor Dan has signed off on the candidacies of various right-wing representatives and has expressed a broader hope for a right-wing administration, both in the presidency and in Parliament.<\/p>\n iulian@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>\n (Photo source: Facebook\/<\/em>Nicu\u015for Dan)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bucharest mayor Nicusor Dan said he is not going to support any particular candidate before the first round of the presidential elections in Romania, explaining that he wishes to preserve support and a certain neutral position versus all the right-wing parties. \u201cThere is still a month until the election, but as I mentioned before, it […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ofero.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
