PDL's Blaga: We had to put up with the dirtiest election campaign, but we remain optimistic

PDL (Democratic Liberal Party) chairman Vasile Blaga on Wednesday said that the Christian Liberal Alliance (ACL) of PDL and PNL (the National Liberal Party) remains optimistic about the runoff of the presidential election, despite going through 'the dirtiest electoral campaign after 1990.'

'We saw the first of the three analyses over the regions, and I need to be frank about this, we are still optimistic, together with our colleagues, with whom we work well in the alliance, and I think that we will win in the runoff, including in those regions where we lost in the first round. Our colleagues made an accurate analysis through which they showed us what we already knew in fact that they had to put up with the dirtiest electoral campaign Romania ever saw after 1990. [...] However, in the end I'm sure that all these wrongdoings will backfire on Mr Victor Ponta and the ones backing him up. My colleagues are determined to go from house to house to explain all these things that just happened,' the ACL co-chairman said at the Parliament Palace, in the end of a meeting of the Alliance leadership with the representatives of its branches in the southern region of the country.

Vasile Blaga also said that he was not pleased with any of the results in any of the regions of the county 'as long as the ACL candidate failed to win over Ponta from the first round of the election." AGERPRES
