Description
Summary:The article represents an analysis of the 2014 presidential elections, trying to highlight the primary cause for the outcome of electoral competition, in which the certain favorite (the candidate of the SDP-NUPR-CP electoral alliance) failed to win. Beyond the sociological explanations of the final results, one of the reasons for which Victor Ponta repeated the experience of former presidents of the SDP (M. Geoană and A.

Given the current organizational structure, as well as the current relations and internal operating mechanisms, the SDP has reached, on November 16, 2014, its maximum electoral potential.
