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.
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 finalized negotiations regarding the U.S. military facilities on the Black Sea coast and maybe in other areas of Romania,
Negotiations (on bases) are practically over. The agreement will be reviewed by the US State Department and the Romanian Foreign Ministry and then signed,
When I was the captain of a ship I never failed to bring my ship to port and I won't fail to bring Romania to safe harbor. The belief that the president no longer represents the people is false.
More than ever, Romania now needs to see that a force exists that puts an end to Ponta and Antonescu's abuses and coup d'etat. This force is none other than the Romanian people.
The increase in salaries at private companies has exploded, and Romania also faces a labor shortage, especially in construction. We believe that the Romanian market will remain an incentive, so that migration will not be an issue.

The reforms that we are to undergo this year - many of which extremely difficult - serve the interest of modernizing our society and economy.

I assure you I will not miss the chance to show you that you were right when you voted for me.
I am elected by the people of Bucharest, not the dogs.
There is no such thing as several Romanias, but only politicians who divide Romania depending on the interests of their parties and their clout.
Romania will continue to fulfil its obligations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
