The head of state replied that he “is concerned and will continue to be concerned with justice reform.”
The activist reproached him for approving the appointments of Alexandru Florența and Marius Voineag in the positions of deputy chief prosecutor of DIICOT and deputy of the general prosecutor, respectively, although in the past he “couldn't stand them”.
“What matters are the heads of the prosecutor's offices”says Nicușor Dan. “Since I signed, I assume it.”
Marian Ceaușescu brought several reproaches to him in the approximately 15-minute discussion, claiming, among other things, that since he became president, “citizens noticed that they defend the parties and not the people“, especially PSD.
The head of state dismissed the claim, adding that “whoever says that, has to come up with arguments”.
“There are arguments, but you won't accept them, I think”Marian Ceaușescu told him.
He also told the president that Romanians' trust in politicians is decreasing, and the hope they had in him risks turning into a disappointment similar to the one in 1996, when the Romanian Democratic Convention (CDR) came to power and brought Emil Constantinescu to the presidency, followed by the return of the old structures in 2000.
“In May, when I ran for the presidency, the Parliament was already formed. We have 35% anti-Western parties and, since that campaign, I said that Romania needs stability.
Stability means parliamentary majority, and parliamentary majority is not possible without PSD. The tempers of the PSD and others and to bring justice in the functioning of the institutions still concern me”the head of state replied.
Nicușor Dan was put to the wall by his own voters. Several civil society organizations sent an open letter to Nicușor Dan on Friday, April 17, criticizing the way the president exercises his mandate.
