The Chairman of the Force of the Right party, Ludovic Orban, criticized, on Monday evening, the way in which the speech of the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy was translated and the technical conditions in which the videoconference took place, stating that "the sub-mediocrities in power by mistake" made "a laughing stock" of Romania, at a time when the attention of international public opinion was directed towards our country, Agerpres reports.
He claimed that the translator "completely destroyed any emotion, any epic thread, any logic".
"At one point we were left without an image. And we also had to endure the ordeal of listening to the stammering syllables of Citu, Ciolacu and Ciuca. At a time when the attention of the international public was directed towards Romania, the sub-mediocrities accidentally in power made us a laughing stock," added Ludovic Orban.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, gave a speech via video conference in the Romanian Parliament on Monday evening. He voiced his conviction that Romania would participate in the restoration of his country after the war and mentioned that he wanted a dialogue to support the Romanian and Ukrainian communities in the two countries, respectively.
