The latest proposals that appeared in the discussions are the doctor Cătălin Cîrstoiu, who was also circulated two weeks ago, and the architect Tiberiu Florescu, according to liberal sources for “Adevărul”. Also, in addition to the two, there will be two more measured candidates.
Asked for a point of view, Tiberiu Florescu did not want to comment, without denying for a moment that he was offered. “I can't comment, sorry. I cannot comment at this time“, said the architect Florescu, in an intervention on Antena 3 CNN.
Sources from the Coalition stated that for the moment the leaders of the Coalition would have decided, at the meeting on Thursday evening, not to support the four candidates discussed so far. Sebastian Burduja, Gabriela Firea, Daniel Băluță or Ionut Lupescu.
Who is Tiberiu Florescu?
Tiberiu Florescu (53 years old) is an architect, the president of the Register of Urban Planners in Romania. He has been a university professor and vice-rector at the Ion Mincu University of Architecture in Bucharest since 2016. Florescu has a doctorate in architecture since 1997. Since 2009, the potential candidate of the Coalition has also been working in an architecture firm.
At the moment, the voting system imposed by law on all those now in government favors the mayor in office. Moreover, the more fragmented the vote, through numerous candidates, the more the mayor who is in office has the first chance.
Also, in all the polls published in the last week, Cristian Popescu Piedone is the favorite, including in front of Nicușor Dan.
