You also saw how much pressure there was !!! The stakes are huge, as we are talking about enormous amounts of money !!! I resisted and carried out a promise that will help Brăila: protecting people is more important than any profit !!! Thank you for being with me !!! It is victory ours !!!”, wrote the mayor of Brăila, Viorel Marian Dragomir, on Facebook.
