Nicușor Dan stated that his proposal for the position of prime minister was Luca Niculescu, whom he said, as a diplomat, knew how to harmonize different positions. According to Dan, Niculescu had been involved in the process of Romania's accession to the OECD over the past four years and had worked with institutions in the country, contributing to the drafting of 100 normative acts with the agreement of parliamentary parties. Dan claimed that accession to the OECD could allow the Romanian economy and administration to make a leap. He said he appointed Niculescu after consultations that day, believing that he had the best chance of securing a parliamentary majority. Following discussions with the parties, Niculescu was to be able to decide whether the government would be political or technocratic, Dan added. Dan also said that Romania needed a government as soon as possible for institutional rectifications and for preparing next year's budget. He warned that prolonging uncertainty could affect the lives of Romanians and cited the evolution of the exchange rate, credit interest rates, and investments, which, according to him, were waiting for the conclusion of this period and would mean jobs. Dan stated that he had the guarantee that a government led by Niculescu would maintain Romania's pro-Western direction and would respect the financial targets and commitments made by the country. #România #guvern #OCDE (translated)
