My suspension was a long-planned move... and was done to protect would-be convicts in Romanian politics.

The dramatic wish of Romanians at the end of the Second World War was to be occupied by the Americans and not by the Russians.

There is no such thing as several Romanias, but only politicians who divide Romania depending on the interests of their parties and their clout.

Even the National Bank of Romania doesn't have the huge resources needed to intervene in the market and keep the leu at an acceptable level, because they're drawing close to a floor below which the bank's reserves can't drop. The central bank has to wait for a moment of calm to efficiently conduct its interventions.

I am elected by the people of Bucharest, not the dogs.

My suspension was a long-planned move... and was done to protect would-be convicts in Romanian politics.

I assure Romanians that once I return... I will try and generate a sentiment of reconciliation in society. Divisions in society must be stopped, they must be annihilated, because Romania needs all its energy to... integrate into the civilized world.
