I cannot let my name and reputation to be used settling scores between political clans. I have only accepted this offer desiring to help overcome the crisis and help the country move forward. Now I withdraw my candidacy, but I promise not to leave public life, the bitter experience of recent months prompted me to participate even more in the life of the country in the future, to help citizens, to fight for them. I want to believe and really hope that in the upcoming early elections there will be a place for a new political class with real moral foundations, and all this will allow us to transform the country for better.
