President of the National Liberal Party Mircea Ionescu Quintus said on
Wednesday that the nomination of Theodor Stolojan as candidate to the
office of President of Romania by the National Liberal Party will be made
at the special congress of the party scheduled for 18 August, informs RADIO
ROMANIA ACTUALITATI. The liberal leader said that as far as he knows Mr.
Stolojan already signed the request to become a member of the National
Liberal Party. The Central Permanent Bureau of the National Liberal Party
also decided that vicepresident Puiu Hasoti should gather the 300,000
signatures necessary to Mr. Stolojan to be in the presidential race.
[03] Press Conference of PUNR
PUNR - THE NATIONAL UNION PARTY OF ROMANIANS - and the ROMANIAN NATIONAL
PARTY have signed and sealed their union which is called NATIONAL ALLIANCE.
President of PUNR Valeriu Tabara said that the union is the start of a
center of national interests of the Romanian people. In his turn the
president of the Romanian National Party, Virgil Magureanu, said the union
is the start of the union of all center oriented parties for the future
elections, informs RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI.
[04] Mugur Isarescu specifies the terms of his possible candidacy to the
presidency of Romania
Prime Minister says he could run for presidency if he has the support of a
large enough number of citizens of this country and if he continues to be
an independent political personality. Another condition would be the
furthering of the present policy of integrating Romania in the European
Union, a programme which is viewed by the Prime Minister as the basis of
all ruling programmes. Mr. Isarescu also said his priority is to conclude
the present term as he was invested by all parties that are making the
present ruling coalition. No comment was made until now and the Prime
Minister still does not say when is he to announce his intention to run for
President. As is known, reports EUROPA LIBERA - FREE EUROPE in the Romanian
launguage, PNTCD and the other parties which are members of CDR 2000 still
hope to have Mugur Isarescu as their candidate for presidency.
[05] PNTCD - CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PEASANTS PARTY - dismisses
important members
Norica Nicolai, Alexandru Ciocalteu, Sorin Dimitriu and Sorin Fodoreanu
were dismissed last night from PNTCD the argument being that they had
associated with the liberals in supporting Theodor Stolojan as candidate to
the office of President of Romania. It is not clear now whether the four
have also decided to join the National Liberal Party or are only supporting
the continuation of talks between the two traditional members of the
Romanian Democratic Convention - Partidul National Liberal and PNTCD.
Details are expected soon.
[06] Communique of the National Bank of Romania
Money funds saved by the population of this country have increased by 1.5
per cent especially by the fact that ever more more people are buying
Ministry of Finance vouchers which are then bought back by the Ministry of
Finance at a certain interest rate which goes into the pocket of each and
every buyer. The National Bank of Romania also notes in the communique that
these vouchers were preferred by customers which thus led to the
dimishining of deposits in the banks of this country. The same communique
also notes that net foreign active funds increased by 16 per cent as the
second instalment of the International Monetary Fund loan was sent to
Romania to which added are the loans of the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development.
