One of the provisions of this protocol is the designation of a single candidate for the position of President of Romania. We have agreed by consensus that this candidate should be Mr. Crin Antonescu, with each political party going to nominate and approve this candidacy in their internal bodies,” said the PNL leader at a press conference held at the Parliament Palace, alongside the leaders of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) and the representative of the national minorities.
