Isarescu runs for Presidency

According to government sources, Prime Minister Mugur Isarescu will run for Presidency and his advisor, Adrian Vasilescu, is going to head the presidential campaign.

Yesterday, during a meeting with the members of the Group for Social Dialogue, Isarescu announced that he wanted a serious, decent and inexpensive campaign and that he would not resort to “image makers” in order to improve his electoral score.

“I have too much common sense not to be aware of the common sense of Romanians, who no longer trust promises and can no longer be won over with shows, balloons, trumpets, party anthems, confetti, and cheer leaders. I will just be myself and I will come with sincerity and gratitude in front of those who trust me,” the Prime Minister said.

The Premier’s advisor Adrian Vasilescu has retired from the position of NBR (National Bank of Romania) spokesperson this month, governmental sources say.
