 | | At the Greater Romania Party (PRM) National Council meeting on 26 March, Chairman Corneliu Vadim Tudor announced his candidacy for the Romanian presidency, promising he would liquidate the mafia in 48 hours, block illegal funds, and would create a fund to equalize living standards, Romanian media reported. |
 | | He also said his party's election slogan would be "Food, Warmth, Medicine, and Justice." At a press conference later the same day, Tudor backtracked and said that his promise had been a "metaphor." At the meeting, the party also approved a statutory amendment, saying that the PRM will not tolerate anti-Semitic attitudes or Holocaust denials. |
