AUR President George Simion said that the congress to elect the presidential candidate will take place on Saturday. „We want to fight this undemocratic system of comas,” Simion said. He said, about entering the presidential race, that it is a possibility and that more and more colleagues are proposing it to him, writes news.ro.

„AUR will have six mandates, we hope for a seventh, depending on who crosses the threshold or not, USR will have three and let’s see what the UDMR and SOS do. We have councillors in all municipal and county councils except Harghita and Covasna. We are happy that these. These elections were heavily affected, there was chaos in the organisation,” Simion said.

He added that AUR „strongly attacks the presidential elections”.

„We have a National Bureau meeting tonight and a congress on Saturday to elect the presidential candidate. We want to fight this undemocratic system. You can’t say you have a real chance in a local election when it’s a one-round election and four months later,” Simion said.

Asked if he would run for president, George Simion said, „It is a possibility. More and more colleagues are suggesting it to me. I can, being a fighter, take this challenge with a chance.
