We will now make the law of sport, it is in the project. In the law of sport, it will be forbidden. The law will implement after it is voted. The contracts will have to be canceled, if they were done.
You have to cancel them! We informed Nicușor Dan that we work on a law and take care of what he is doing, because we have matches in the European Cups. The Bucharest people made the stadium to see matches, not barbecue tables.
We are already working on this law, we vote and ready. Then he will enter the president. This is Romania … If we have stadiums and we make barbecues
