“If the NLP loses badly in the European Parliament elections, Mr. Chuke will no longer be the president of the NLP, let’s be serious,” Mihai Tudose said in an interview with Prima News, according to News.ro.

We fully reproduce the dialogue with Mihai Tudose on this topic:

  • “Are you friends with Mr. Chuke?
  • Mihai Tudose: No, I am not friends with Mr. Chuke.
  • You don’t like his way of doing politics?
  • MT: No, he is not for that, in my opinion.
  • I did not expect to hear such criticism from the PSD leader. This is a big PSD-PNL brotherhood.
  • MT: I understand. He is the leader of the party with which we are allied. I know we have a protocol of alliance with PNL.
  • Do you not see Mr. Chuke as a politician?
  • MT: No.
  • Would he be better off staying in the army?
  • MT: I don’t know, it’s his job, I don’t give him life advice, he does what he wants.
  • Why don’t you think it’s good?
  • MT: Because it’s not from this movie. Life did something else.
  • Do you not see him as a presidential candidate?
  • MT: No. If the PNL loses badly in the European Parliament elections, Mr. Chuke will no longer be the president of the PNL, let’s be serious!”.
