The leaders of the Coalition and Cătălin Cârstoiu avoided saying who approached whom so that the doctor could reach the PSD-PNL candidate at the Capital City Hall. However, the three stated that everything started as a result of discussions related to the University Hospital, which Cârstoiu leads.

In the event of the official presentation of Cătălin Cârstoiu as a PSD-PNL candidate for the Capital City Hall, the leaders of the Coalition and the doctor were asked who initiated the discussions.
“We've known each other for a while”replied Ciolacu.
The addition came from Cătălin Cârstoiu: “We talked all the time, I think in the last two years extraordinarily much, about the project called the University Hospital. The University Hospital is a factory that has almost all the administrative aspects that a territorial administrative unit has, especially since, honestly, it is about the size of 3 large municipalities in terms of investment, budget, concerns related to the patient's well-being (..) Still talking about activities that are or are not related to medicine, we slowly came to lead the discussion to the needs of the city, because the hospital is not outside the city, but in its heart. Then, I think it was the starting point of a joint project together with Mrs. Gabriela Firea and Mr. Sebastian Burduja and we found that it can be a reality, an objective that we can assume regarding these elections from 2024“.
“I think that we still need to understand this activity of selecting a specific person for a specific position as an openness that political parties must have towards new people in politics, who have performed in the professional fields where they operate“, said Nicolae Ciucă, noting that such analyzes are carried out at each party, where the peaks in certain fields are sought.
“That's how I think Mr. Doctor was chosen, and I don't think other explanations would justify the decision“, said the PNL leader, later supplemented by Marcel Ciolacu: “I am not firmly convinced that we chose the doctor, but he chose us“.
