Klaus Iohannis to join presidential rival at B1 TV on-air debate this Wednesday (PNL's Orban)

Christian Liberal Alliance (ACL) presidential candidate Klaus Iohannis will participate on Wednesday in the debate organized by the B1 TV channel with his opponent Victor Ponta, ACL Prime Vice Chairman Ludovic Orban announced.

"There was no such decision — as Romania TV and Antena 3 claimed, and were then cited by other media channels — for Mr. Iohannis not to participate in other shows. It's exactly the opposite, Klaus Iohannis will participate this evening in the debate organized by the B1 TV channel," Orban told a press conference.

He added that ACL will try to negotiate the format of the debate with the organizers.

This will be the second televised electoral confrontation between the two candidates who entered the presidential runoff, Victor Ponta and Klaus Iohannis, after the show hosted on Tuesday evening by Realitatea TV.AGERPRES
