"A candidacy in the presidential elections has to rely on a trust group, and more than that. I believe it is a little more than that namely the capacity of gathering people around you to support a joint project(...). To the extent that I can see that there is a favorable response, the sure that together , after conferring with my colleagues, we will be able to make a decision related to the candidacy, but sure I will have to try and collected a little more than just votes. You need a party’s mechanism to back you up, some allies for the candidacy to be possible”, Călin Popescu Tăriceanu said.
