Independent candidate Oprescu surmounts last impeachment from race

After a series of problems in being accepted as independent candidate for the Bucharest Mayor Office, dr. Sorin Oprescu managed on Sunday to surmount the last problem on his way: a Bucharest citizen challenged his right to run, claiming that the signatures he submitted at the Electoral Office were, in fact, personal data of the patients that have been hospitalized in his medical unit.

After the Bucharest Court decided that the notifications has no grounds, Sorin Oprescu accused the complainer of acting on the behalf of a political opponent, Cozmin Gusa, head of a minor party.
