Piticigratis wrote that it was hard to be Dan Puric, whom he claimed had spent 20 years touring the country and giving two-hour speeches with nationalist, Russophile, mystical, and Ceaușist themes. The author stated that Puric had won his audience by talking about the imaginary glory of the people and blaming poverty on foreigners, rather than on Romanians in key positions, whom he described as corrupt or incompetent. Piticigratis said that Puric had come to see himself as a potential president or guru and believed that he had formed an electoral base. In the scenario imagined by the author, however, another charlatan would attract the audience with the same ideas, expressed more simply and with the slogan "water, food, energy." The author argued that this way Puric would have lost the supporters he had cultivated for two decades and concluded by saying that, in his place, he would have dug his nails into his neck. #Romania #satira #cultura (translated)
