Mircea Geoana announces his candidacy for president: We need real change

Published on

Former NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana on Wednesday announced he will run for Romania’s president, as independent candidate.

„I could have proposed you a perfect country. Present myself as the perfect politician, tell you that all problems will disappear overnight. But we know that’s not the reality. We’re not perfect. I’m not perfect. Our country isn’t perfect. But you know what we can do? We can work. Let’s roll up our sleeves and build together a country where every voice counts and every vote counts. I am running for Romania’s presidency because I know we need real change,” he said in a video message published on his official Facebook page.

Mircea Geoana’s slogan, presented at the end of the video, is „Independent. Vision. Respect.”

He believes that his approach will not be easy and says that he will not be a president of parties.

„I do not promise miracles, but I promise you something real: I will be here for each and every one of you, I will be a president for all, for the young and the retired, for those at home and those in the diaspora, I will be a president for all Romanians, regardless of ethnicity or religion. I will be the president of people and not of parties. For me there are no PSD-ists [Social Democratic Party followers], Liberals, USR-ists [Save Romania Union followers], sovereigntists and UDMR-ists [Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania followers]. I’m here to represent you all. I will be the president of the Romanian nation, defender of our traditions and our faith, but also open to modernity and progress,” said Mircea Geoana.

He warns citizens that „times will not be easy.”

„Together we can make them better. Romania does not need perfection, it needs leaders who listen to you, understand you, respect you and fight for you. Let us be reborn together!,” Mircea Geoana added.
