Romania's Ponta eyes former PM Tariceanu as successor
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta said on Tuesday that former liberal Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu was his main choice of successor, should Ponta become president after an election run-off on Nov 16.
"Tariceanu is my main option," Ponta told reporters after a short meeting of the ruling coalition.
Ponta said another option would be Florin Georgescu, a central bank deputy governor, who would send a clear signal that the government was committed to fiscal discipline.
A third option would be George Maior, the head of Romania's secret service, Ponta said.
