Hellvig: “A candidate without sufficient political content or without any popular coverage must at least be a good and honest person. Otherwise, you're heading straight for amateur tournaments”

Doctor Cătălin Cîrstoiu, PSD-PNL candidate for the Capital City Hall, declared that his mandate “it's on the coalition table” and that if he loses the support of the two parties, he will withdraw from the electoral race.

Eduard Hellvig launched new criticisms against Cătălin Cîrstoiu and the phenomenon of stars and competent people transformed into politicians, shampoo candidates and “withering away” the theories of Max Weber (1864-1920 – German sociologist, philosopher, jurist, historian and political economist, whose ideas deeply influenced social theory and social research).

Eduard Hellvig draws attention to the quality of politicians and discussions about projects and vision: “Some job candidates, unfortunately, lack that personal light that qualifies them as a role model. We have no way to discuss projects, vision, development if we are driven by smoke, trickery and stupidity.”

“Instead of professional politicians, there are professionals from honorable jobs, but who, instead of enhancing their hypothetical qualities, life reveals their real flaws. Instead of giving ourselves the opportunity to say what we will do right, we slap ourselves on the forehead for what we did wrong.”

Hellvig also laments the fact that political ideology no longer exists: A candidate without sufficient political content or without any popular coverage must at least be a good and honest person. Otherwise, you're heading headlong into amateur tournaments.
