In the "Candidate Portrait" column, we aim to bring relevant information to the citizens about the most important politicians who are running for the position of President of Romania. Today the portrait of Elena Lasconi, the proposal of the Save Romania Union for Cotroceni. Elena Lasconi took over the political formation on the fly, immediately after the resignation of Cătălin Drula, as a result of the poor results obtained in the local and European parliamentary elections. Since then, he has pressed the pedal of conservatism a little harder, carrying crosses and taking part in various religious processions, in opposition precisely to the traditional USR electorate, which is somewhat more progressive, according to some analysts. Elena Lasconi was also criticized for not distancing herself from the party leaders with criminal records: Clotilde Armand, Lucian Viziteu or Vlad Voiculescu. 00:00 Biography and controversies 08:46 What do people think about Elena Lasconi? 12:34 Interview with Sebastian Zachmann
