The head of SOS Romania, Diana Şoşoacă, declared during an electoral meeting in Focşani, that she will support the independent candidate Călin Georgescu in the second round of voting for the presidential elections only if he helps the formation he leads “to occupy the Parliament” and he will call her prime minister.

“It’s a condition, Mr. Georgescu. If you will support the parliament formed by SOS Romania, then we will also help you to become president. Not because we trust you, but because we don’t want Elena Lasconi to destroy everything. (…) We are in the situation of having to vote, in case we are also helped, Mr. Georgescu, a person we do not know, whom we would not have voted for under any other circumstances, but we are obliged. Only on one condition, Mr. Georgescu. Support us with all your forces from behind to occupy the Parliament of Romania, let Diana Şoşoacă be prime minister and SOS give the government”said Diana Şoşoacă during an election meeting in Focșani.
The head of the party would thus change the instructions given to her supporters, after in the first round of voting she instructed them to cancel their vote and draw a new border with her name on the ballot papers.
“If we cancel our vote on December 8, in the presidential elections, PSD, PNL, USR, UDMR will coalesce and vote for Lasconi. And it will be ruined. If the SOS Romania Party votes for Călin Georgescu, plus all the Romanian nationalists, who either did not vote for him or canceled it, and who would have voted with me in the presidential election, Călin Georgescu would come out. Obviously, we only have question marks regarding Mr. Georgescu”, Diana Sosoacă also explained.
“Maybe it’s slipping”
“No, I don’t trust Călin Georgescu. But I have no alternative. (…) I have nothing to do. But then I have to have a counterweight, in case Mr. Georgescu is not what he says, to be able to counterbalance with the Parliament that can (…) Maybe not on purpose. Maybe it will be changed. But maybe there are slips, maybe there are mistakes. To be able to correct them with the Parliament, and especially with the Government, with the Prime Minister”also claimed Sosoacă, indicating that, in his opinion, if his party remains in the opposition, there will be fights “crawls, such as have never existed in the history of the world.”
The head of SOS Romania also claimed that she could have become the first female president of Romania in the first round, if she had been able to run.
Diana Sosoacă’s candidacy was invalidated by the decision of the CCR.
