Mircea Geoană officially announced his candidacy for the presidential elections in Romania through a video message posted on Facebook.
Today’s announcement comes after yesterday’s withdrawal from the position of NATO Deputy Secretary General and being awarded the „Meritorious Service” Order, in recognition of his „exceptional activity in the service of the North Atlantic Alliance.”
Here is the message he posted alongside the video clip:
"I am running for the presidency because I know we need a real change!
I could have promised you a perfect country. To pose as the perfect politician, to tell you that all problems will disappear overnight. But we all know that is not reality. We are not perfect. I am not perfect. But you know what we can do? We can work. Roll up our sleeves and build a better country.
Romania does not need perfection; it needs leaders who listen, understand, and act professionally.
Let's revive together!"
