PNL spokesman Jonuts Stroe said on Monday night’s show that Nicolae Chuke is currently the person the party relies on for the next presidential election. Straw wanted to say that the current prime minister is a long-term leader who will bring the PNL to over 30 percent and lead the PNL for a long time.

“We should not hide, at the moment Nicolae Chuke is a person we rely on, he is the main option of the PNL and the most accessible and natural, the president of the party, the prime minister is a person we value. (..) Nicolae Chuke is a very strict person, in the long run, the activities of this leader will be highly appreciated,” PNL spokesman told Profit.tv.

About Nikolaj Chuke’s power to be a locomotive for the party, Jonuts Stroe showed that “during the elections at the head of the party, he was much higher than the PNL”.

“He made a big bet on this man’s career, on his seriousness, on his public profile, on his reputation as a NATO general, and obviously at that time he enjoyed the trust of the party. Governance is eroding, you don’t need to be a professional sociologist to understand that governance is eroding. This man leads a government that has gone through incredible crises that have been stacked up, there’s a war next door, inflation has reached levels not seen since the 90s,” Straw said.

He continued: “I have full confidence in Nicolae Chuke, and Nicolae Chuke will bring the PNL to where the party deserves, I think somewhere over 30 percent.” Jonutz Stroe said about the PNL president that “he is a reserved person, he is not a political actor and he is a person who leads the country in a difficult moment.” “I tell you honestly, from my point of view, he will lead the PNL for a long time. Personally and according to the government circular. (..) From my point of view, Nicolae Chuke is a long-term leader,” Straw said.

Regarding the rotation of prime ministers in the coalition next year, Ionutz Stroe clarified that “the position of prime minister is of great importance in the government, but this does not mean that decisions will be made differently than they are made now, regardless of the ministry, which we manage, the prime minister, because the working protocol of the coalition is very clear and clearly defined.”

“I have no doubt that if Marcel Cholaku was the prime minister, the agenda would change, we have a management program, we know very well what we have to do and what decisions we have to make. (..) From our point of view, there are absolutely no problems, we assumed it transparently, publicly, we keep our word, the rotor will be manufactured,” assured Ionuts Stroe.
