Online petition supports presidential candidacy of Romanian acting president Ilie Bolojan
<p>Without an explicit source, an online petition was launched for the presidential candidacy of acting president <strong>Ilie Bolojan</strong>. Launched by the user "Ilie," the petition was signed by 4,258 on the first day, <a href="https://www.g4media.ro/petitie-online-pentru-sustinerea-candidaturii-lui-ilie-bolojan-la-alegerile-prezidentiale.html?mc_cid=b2671c865c&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">G4media.ro</a> reported.</p>

<p>The author of the petition seems to come from among the ruling coalition, as it argues against the ruling alliance's candidate, Crin Antonescu, and sees Ilie Bolojan as a replacement – and not as an independent candidate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ilie Bolojan, until recently a regional leader of the Liberal party (PNL), which is part of the ruling coalition, has pulled out of the party when taking over as acting president.</p>

<p>The motion's author claims that Bolojan has demonstrated discipline, efficiency, and concrete actions during the three weeks since he took over as acting president.</p>

<p>"Ilie Bolojan doesn't just promise, he delivers! Romania cannot afford another weak president.&nbsp;&nbsp;Crin Antonescu cannot win, and PSD is playing by its own interests.&nbsp;&nbsp;If we want a well-managed European country, we need a president who unites and builds. Sign for Ilie Bolojan as the sole candidate! Romania needs a leader of deeds, not words!" the petition reads.</p>
