Edward Iordănescu (46 years old), the former coach of the Romanian national (2022-2024), sent a message one day before the second round of the presidential elections in Romania.
On Sunday, May 18, Romanians in the country will choose the new president between Nicușor Dan (independent candidate) and George Simion (gold). Those in the diaspora can vote between May 16 and 18.
Without specifying who he will vote with, Edward Iordănescu noticed a great adversity between the supporters of the two candidates and sent them a message that urges calm.
The message of Edward Iordănescu, before the day of the vote for round 2 between Nicușor Dan and George Simion: “So much division, so much hatred in society, so much lack of respect”
“It is still being discussed that Romania chooses its journey these days. The problem is that half of the fight has already been lost. So much division, so much hatred in society, so much disrespect and intolerance for a different opinion …
The problem is only with us, our thinking and mentality! Maybe one day God helps us to find our true values.
As a nation, we have a duty to those who fought, dreamed and built before us: to be straight, proud and worthy. Our past is full of courage, sacrifices and moments that defined our identity. We must not forget who we are and what we can do together.
Let's leave with the forehead up, respectfully towards our values and with confidence in the future. Dignity does not mean only to proudly remember our history, but also to act, daily, with honor, solidarity and responsibility.
We are stronger when we believe in us, when we support each other and when we do not let ourselves kneel. Romania deserves proud and dignified citizens ”, wrote Edi Iordănescu, on Facebook.
