Tudor Chirilă expresses his frustration with the lack of a two-round ballot for the election of the mayor of the Capital and explains how he analyzes his electoral option. The artist emphasizes that he has not yet decided with whom he will vote and urges the people of Bucharest to go to the polls on December 7.
Tudor Chirilă states that, if there had been elections in two rounds, he would have taken into account the vote for Ana Ciceală, who he describes as probably the most honest of the candidates.
“I belong to the generation that always voted for the lesser evil. Attention, I’m not saying that Ciceăla is an “evil”. On the contrary. But we always voted against because we were choosing between “evils”. So I understand very well the young people who don’t think about the greater evil and the useful vote. Between 18 and 25 you have to be an idealist. And it’s important that a man without questionable ties to the “establishment” or the corrupt political class is running. Ana is probably the best in terms of integrity,” he wrote on Facebook on Friday evening, stating that the mandate of the future mayor will be only two years.
The artist expresses his opposition to PSD: “I will never vote, at the town hall or otherwise, PSD, i.e. Băluță – 8 apartments – and not PSD according to the old rite, that is, I mean Anca Alexandrescu, aka “march”, ex Dragnea, ex Năstase, ex Ponta and who painted herself “anti-system”, but who obviously has no competence for the town hall because she has not done a day of administration or ministry at the executive level. And which is supported by an extremist party that was not able to find a candidate.”
To decide his vote, Chirilă says he compared the programs of the five main candidates using artificial intelligence, namely Chat GPT and Gemini:
“I took the programs of the first five candidates, put them in Chat Gpt and Gemini, I did my voter profile – what matters to me in this city, I divided into percentages of importance administrative experience versus integrity and other values, I put in the demographic segmentation from the 2020 election, which is who turned out to vote, what age groups and got some answers. Then I formulated some more questions, defined some more variables and I’m trying to decide. And I think that every man who thinks in other than purely emotional terms must do so. For there are quite a few undecideds like me. On whom the fate of the city may depend.”
Chirila estimates that there is “many undecided” that can influence the outcome of the election and warns that no matter who wins, “culture will come last” in the priorities of the future administration.
His message ends with a call to action: “So, go out and vote. Bucharest will have the mayor that its residents want the most. Those who stay at home are probably satisfied with any result. In the end, we are talking about the fact that whoever becomes mayor does not really express the preferences of the people of Bucharest.”
Chirila hopes that, after the elections, the public pressure will eliminate “aberration” in a single round at the next election: “And maybe after the election we don’t let this one-round aberration catch us in 2028.”
