President Nicusor Dan said a breakup of the governing coalition is unlikely, but mentioned that in this context that there are many current tensions which could have been avoided by all sides.
Asked in an interview with Cotidianul, published on Tuesday, about a possible coalition breakup, the head of state replied: "I hope not and I believe not at this moment. At least for the period we can see over the next few months. Many of the current tensions could have been avoided by all parties."
He added that "many people are behaving as if we were in the parliamentary equation of the previous term, where pro-Western parties held 90 percent of the seats, not 65 percent as they do now."
Furthermore, the president also added that score of the Alliance for Romanians' Union (AUR) party in the opinion polls "reflects a reality, expressing a distrust in the way the administration is politically managed in Romania."
"What worries me to some extent, and what is our duty to address, is the pro-Russia component in the AUR's discourse, to which people do not react. That there is a populist party or a populist narrative. (...) What I believe we all need to do more is to point out that there is a narrative copied from the Russian narrative, that we want to fight Russia, to drag people into war and all sorts of things like this, which worry me because there are people who actually believe them," the president said.
He ruled out the possibility of the AUR party exceeding 50 percent in the 2028 parliamentary elections. "I do not believe that will happen," President Dan said.
