La începutul săptămânii, chiar înainte de a pleca spre Parlament, unde urma să se dezbată moţiunea de cenzură „Educaţia rămâne, Guvernul pleacă” iniţiată de PD-L, deputatul liberal Horia Toma, candidat PNL în Colegiul 10 Deputaţi, a vorbit într-o conferinţă de presă despre salariile profesorilor şi de campania electorală. Toma a ajuns la Bucureşti, dar moţiunea de cenzură nu a fost dezbătută din... lipsă de cvorum.

Un marş roşu, amintind de defilările comuniste din epoca trecută, a precedat lansarea candidaţilor social-democraţi pentru alegerile parlamentare de la 30 noiembrie. După ce au împânzit oraşul cu geci şi steaguri roşii, pesediştii s-au oprit la Casa Sindicatelor, unde deputatul Marian Săniuţă, liderul PSD Prahova, i-a prezentat pe colegii săi care visează să ajungă în Parlamentul României.

11 communes and 3 towns have received money from Prahova County Council to repair the county and communal roads. Because the electoral campaign has started, the subject has created some rumours in the meeting hall. 

Avocatul Iulian Teodorescu, candidatul PNL în Colegiul 11 Deputaţi, doreşte începerea unor negocieri pentru reluarea contractului de concesiune al Hipodromului din Ploieşti. Teodorescu i-a trimis o scrisoare primarului Andrei Volosevici în care îl roagă pe edil să se întâlnească cu reprezentanţii Ippodromi & Citta pentru a renegocia contractul de concesiune.

The electoral campaign has begun. Officially!!! After the fuss of the local elections, I wonder what comes next. The candidates keen on "door-to-door” will pay us visits. They will ask us what salary we have, if the money is enough to get by, if we want to visit Paris or shop in Milan, if we have a car or if we want to fly to Mars. They will knock on our doors, and greet on the street. We will be tricked by a smile and a bag of sugar and oil. We have been living the illusion of wealth and prosperity for 30 days.

Here is a new way of campaigning in Ploieşti. The political parties have competed in reserving tickets to all the plays from the Ploieşti Theatre. PD-L Prahova is the first party to sign a contract with the theatre management. Lucian Sabados, the director of the "Toma Caragiu” Theatre, has announced that the democrat-liberals bought two sets of tickets for this week and other shows are under negotiation. Sabados stated that PD-L is not the only party that has chosen to send its voters to the theatre. "There is an intention to purchase the entire set of tickets for several plays, by the end of November. Comedies and revues are preferred”, said Sabados.
Roberta Anastase, the president of PD-L Prahova, has declared that this represents a new type of political marketing in Romania. "People are tired of door-to-door campaigns. We have chosen to get to know ourselves and to communicate in a different way, and also to enjoy seeing a play”, the democrat-liberals' chief explained, adding the fact that the invitations bought by PD-L have been distributed among party sympathizers and members. A complete set of 250 tickets for all the plays staged at "Toma Caragiu” Theatre costs between 1.500 and 2.000 lei. Other parties that have decided to invite their sympathizers to plays are PSD and PNL.

Bogdan Nica, candidatul PNL pentru Senat Colegiul 5, a strâns peste 13.000 de semnături de la cetăţeni pentru a se scoate în afara legii taxa radio-tv. Dacă va reuşi, el îşi propune să elimine şi alte taxe aberante, precum taxa pe apa de ploaie.

Only seven parties have registered for the electoral race to designate senators and deputies from Prahova. Compared to the local elections, when the representatives of more than 40 political parties or independent candidates could be found on the lists, in the case of the parliamentary elections, the ballot papers will be less thick.

The PSD+PC Alliance, PNG-CD, UDMR, PNL, PD-L and PRM have entered complete files of candidates for all the 17 Colleges in the County, and PPPS has succeeded in finding only two desirers of parliamentary mandates, one for Senate in College 3 Văleni de Munte - Urlaţi, and one for The Chamber of Deputies in College 7 Urlaţi. In the Prahova County Electoral Office, there was registered the candidature of the independent Marin Duţă, a plaintiff by profession, but it was rejected as the legal conditions were not met. "The independent candidacy of Mr. Duţă was rejected because he did not prove the deposit stipulated in the Electoral Law and there were not presented lists to meet the legal number of supporters”, declared the judge Alina Anton, president of BEJ Prahova. Marin Duţă wanted to candidate in College 8 Deputies, against Adrian Năstase, president of the National Council of PSD. All in all, 104 persons subscribed in the race for senator and deputy mandates. Prahova Prefecture has already contracted the firm to print 760.000 ballot papers for the
Chamber of Deputies and as many for the Senate. Throughout the County, there will be 611 voting sections, guarded by Police representatives, Gendarmerie and Communitary Police. In Ploieşti Municipality there will be 155 voting sections. A special case is represented by the persons that cannot move outside their homes due to age or illnesses, and who can prove with medical certificates that cannot leave their houses. In such cases, they can express their political option with the aid of a mobile ballot box. This time, citizens will not be able to vote on the 30th of November unless they are in the locality of residence; this stipulation discontents the Romanians working abroad, as well as the students.
