Am decis astăzi să candidez pentru funcția de președinte al României!
Am decis astăzi să candidez pentru funcția de președinte al României!Le voi cere colegilor mei, la Congresul PSD din 24 august, să îmi ofere, prin votul lor, onoarea de a lupta pentru toți cei care, în ultimii 20 de ani, nu s-au simțit reprezentați, nu s-au simțit auziți și care și-au pierdut speranța într-un Președinte al TUTUROR, care să se bată pentru drepturile întregii societăți!Vreau să le asigur tuturor românilor un viitor în care să existe speranța unei vieți mai bune, în bunăstare și pace.Cred că marea așteptare a românilor este aceea ca bogăția, produsă prin dezvoltarea economică a României din ultimii ani, să ajungă la cât mai mulți dintre cei care au muncit ca lucrul acesta să se întâmple!Eu CRED că mandatul viitorului Președinte al țării trebuie să fie despre o Românie corectă, bine organizată, care are grijă de toți românii care muncesc cinstit! Sunt PREGĂTIT ca, alături de toți cei care cred și simt la fel, să lupt pentru ca românii să trăiască într-o țară de care să fie mândri în fiecare clipă!

„I will ask my colleagues, at the PSD Congress on August 24, to grant me, through their vote, the honor of fighting for all those who, in the last 20 years, have not felt represented, have not felt heard, and have lost hope in a President for ALL, who will fight for the rights of the entire society!

I want to assure all Romanians of a future where there is hope for a better life, in prosperity and peace.

I believe that the great expectation of Romanians is that the wealth generated through Romania's economic development in recent years reaches as many of those who have worked for this to happen!

I BELIEVE that the mandate of the future President of the country must be about a fair Romania, well-organized, which takes care of all Romanians who work honestly!

I AM READY to fight alongside all those who believe and feel the same way, so that Romanians can live in a country they can be proud of every moment!

We have the best team for Romania, as we have shown in all elections over the past 4 years. I am confident that together we will regain the Presidency after 20 years.

On Saturday, at the congress, I will present my Plan for Romania. I sincerely hope you will grant me the honor of fighting on your behalf and on behalf of Romanians to win the presidential elections.
