Bucharest Mayor's Resignation: Who Will Replace Nicușor Dan?

Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan's Potential Resignation Sparks Speculation on Successor Bucharest, Romania – Mayor Nicușor Dan is reportedly considering resigning from his post, triggering intense speculation about his potential replacement. This development comes at a crucial time for the Romanian capital. While Dan himself has remained tight-lipped about his plans, sources suggest he may step down as early as today. Several names have emerged as potential interim mayors. Ștelian Bujduveanu, a prominent member of the Liberal party, is a strong contender. Ciprian Ciucu, the current mayor of Sector 6, and Gabriela Firea, are also being discussed. According to Realitatea Plus, "The process will be swift due to the complexity of managing Bucharest."

The upcoming elections are expected to take place this autumn. While the situation remains fluid, the potential change in leadership will undoubtedly have significant implications for Bucharest's future.
