Liberal branch in Bucharest sees board dismissed
Calin Popescu Tariceanu explained that there was no competition or rivalry between Ludovic Orban and himself, and that the decision comes as a consequence of the poor results in the local elections. Other six local organizations of the party may soon be forced to resign, in the counties of Dambovita, Neamt, Suceava, Sibiu, Arad and Timis, where Liberals obtained less than 15% of the votes.
Orban explained that his defeat was caused by the political context, not by a poor electoral campaign. "I don't resign because I don't see the Liberals' result as a failure", said Orban before the meeting. After the meeting, he admitted that he made “a small step back” for the sake of the “Liberal harmony”.
