It was my turn and it was my biological turn, thanks to my experience in local public administration. The people of Bucharest need a doctor, but they don't need one who took the oath before Hippocrates, but one from the local administration, and cmy 30 years legislate me that I took the oath in front of the electorate, in various stages of Bucharest, councilor, general councilor, I worked in several sectors, general inspector. I took that oath before the citizens. The final is played between me and Nicușor DanPiedone said.

Piedone: Baluță will be the heir to the throne at some point, at PMB
The mayor of Sector 5 said that the mayor of Sector 4, Daniel Băluță (PSD), is supported by PUSL for a new mandate at the same mayor's office, stating that his turn in the Capital has not yet come.
“Daniel Băluță is a young mayor, in 2012 he entered the local administration for the first time. After two years, he becomes deputy mayor when my former deputy mayor, after a term and a half, leaves for a private job abroad. PSD told me to support him to become deputy mayor and I say the man is a dentist, what does one have to do with the other. Today, not that I am proud, on my instinct, I could choose a bunch of those councilors to become deputy mayor instead of Alex Popescu, and I said yes to Băluță. Baluță has excelled and excels in everything he does. He found a ground already seeded at sector 4 and I am proud that he continued. I cleaned, I arranged sector 4, he came and developed it. It did not take the sector from scratch. He will be the heir to the throne at some point. Today there is a PUSL-PSD alliance, in the 4th sector, we are not running for mayor, we are supporting Daniel Băluță”Piedone said.
The mayor of Sector 4, Daniel Băluță (PSD), stated, on February 1, at an event attended by PSD leader Marcel Ciolacu, that he wants to continue the projects started in that sector, after he was asked if he would to run for the Capital City Hall.

“The same with sector 2, and I tell you with one condition, we do not put up a candidate, if it will be configured as a portrait of the candidate and shoot at the gate, it depends only on his reign and the party that represents him, an alliance is made PSD-PUSL election with candidate Rareș Hopincă, the current prefect. With other candidate entities for sector 2, Piedone comes with a candidate, as president of PUSL. And in the other sectors, surprises-surprises, charts, and brands. In sector 5, he will run in my place, and I will support with all my being the current deputy Vlad Popescu Piedone, my boy”, Piedone also said.
