“It's a very good question. You know I was mayor of Bucharest before. I got ready. When you are in a public office, the hardest and most beautiful thing is that you have responsibility for many people. That is why you do some people depend on ”the head of state replied.
Asked how to be president, Nicuşor Dan told the children in the diaspora that he has some files on the desk that he finds in the morning and he has to read.
“There are many people who call me to meet me, tell me what we should do. There are some obligatory things I have to do. For example, within 20 days since Parliament gives a law, I have to put it in effect or send it back. And beyond that, I must represent Romania and I was in different external visits. I was in Ukraine and in the Republic of Moldova, among others, in France not yet”, Said the president
“Trying to see how we collaborate with other states, how we can help our companies work, sell to other states, how we can help foreign companies to come to Romania and create jobs, how we can do cultural exchanges with other countries. This is the job of president.”added Nicuşor Dan.
About what projects he intends for the children in the diaspora, Nicuşor Dan said that “We must have, for many fields, strategies that have some realistic goals, and we must have a strategy for the diaspora that we do not have, at the moment. ”
“Intuitive, we must reach the moment when any Romanian in the diaspora feels that it can be rely on its state, for example to change the bulletin or other things that are relatively trivial, and you must have access to the Romanian culture. Further, there are things we will learn by discussing together. Bureaucracy and many of them want to come to invest their money in Romania, but that they are afraid that they get their opinions, they spend the money they have already collected.“He said.
