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.

We are the country that has attracted the biggest volume of foreign investment in southeastern Europe in the past few years. Romania doesn't need to beat itself, believing that it is a second-class citizen.

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

Romania will continue to fulfil its obligations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Romania will always defend the Roma's right to move freely in Europe. They are European citizens and as long as there is no evidence they broke the law they should enjoy the same rights of any European citizen.

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