The President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, offered, in an interview for the observer, a series of recent statements in which he underlines the priorities of his mandate, warning the risks of populism and division in society.
“You remember the great discussion from the USR, my resignation there. I think this is not the dominant debate in society. I, in round 2, I faced the president of Gold and reproached him for being populist, Prous, not western, he instigates hatred in society and does not understand that Romania cannot work with an international market.” said President Nicușor Dan.
Nicușor Dan says that most Romanians are pro-European and pro-Western
“If we want to return to confrontations between progressives and conservatives again, this wants little about the Romanian society: to break our heads between us. That we are either conservatives or progressives, most Romanians are pro-European and pro-Western, and it is good to stay. President Dan said.
The president revealed how his mandate of President of Romania will be defined
“I think that I tried to say in many discussions that I had with foreign counterparts. I tried to convey that, after the history we had, now Romania is seriously. When I said that we reduce the deficit, we take it seriously. When we participate in protecting the European defense effort, we are serious. said the head of state.
How Nicușor Dan works with the “system”: “I also saw more harmful parts”
“I have interfered with the system since I was mayor, we have done things together, exchange of information. I do not know it, I have seen more harmful parts that protect different interests. I tell the Romanians to gather the good part to reform Romania.” he said.

“We have some heads of prosecutor's office whose mandates expire next spring. Until then there is time for assessments. We have already had some discussions and I will have several dozens of discussions with the people in the judiciary. In a change without unnecessary scratches you have to make the right movements. The current systems are inefficient and do not prioritize the causes.” said the president.
Asked in the end if he has friends since he became president, Nicușor Dan replied that he still has friends, but he is no longer seen with them, because of the lack of time.
“I have friends, but I don't see them,” Nicușor Dan concluded.
