President Nicușor Dan spoke about the situation of the ruling coalition on Thursday at Digi24, and expressed “the appreciation for the fact that these parties wanted to assume their government in a period that is not happy.”
“Ilie Bolojan or Sorin Grindeanu?”, Was one of the questions received by President Nicușor Dan, who answered: “I said this several times. Of course we are people, people look at other people, appreciate them, but we are here in an institutional framework, that is, the people who have been a major part of this.
“The president is a man, but in this matter, an institution that, finally, has the role of mediator and then we have to look institutional,” he added.
“There are many decisions that have been in consensus”
The head of state said that the coalition parties have assumed “the government in a period that is not happy”, although “the simplest for each of them would have been in opposition, to criticize the government and to win electoral points.”
“Also a human general is, when it is a small divergence of opinion it is more interesting than when the world is aligned and everyone has the same opinion (…), but what I can say is that there are many decisions that have been made according to these parties-and, for a very long time, many of them are not very profitable for the respective parties,” I added.
Asked if we “beat the step” because of the divergences that the coalition parties have on the reform in the local administration, he replied: “I would not say. I had a package of five measures, finally, we can talk about them, but we had a package of five measures that they were approved and which led to that stabilization. We have to look at these things too. “
“Obviously, in the local administration and the central administration there are many more people in many areas than it should be. For example, I was the mayor of Bucharest, the Capital City Hall has 1,000 people, it can work with 700 without any discussion. With all the device, police, zoo, theaters, green spaces, it may have 7,000. Nicușor Dan.
