Romanian president Nicu\u0219or Dan<\/strong> said he would like to run for a second term \u201cin principle,\u201d\u00a0in an interview given on Monday, October 20. However, he noted that\u00a0it is too early to make a decision.<\/p>\n

Dan said he would need another 5-year term, aside from the one just beginning, because it takes time to accomplish things.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s early, but in principle, I would like to, yes. In the 10 years that I have been active politically, I have understood that to do things in society requires time,\u201d the president told Antena 1, as cited by Agerpres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Asked about his foremost national project, Nicu\u0219or Dan pointed to security, considering the ongoing situation in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are next to a war that is taking place in a neighboring country, and we must make sure that [it spreading] does not happen. And it will not happen, but of course, we must be careful about it,\u201d mentioned the head of state.<\/p>\n

He also said that the second most important thing for people is the economy. \u201cRomania must develop an economic vision. Romania must pinpoint the areas in which it has competitive advantages. […] We have a decade-long background in some areas, and a superior technical training. We must develop the areas of technology, IT, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. This is something that Romania must stimulate.”<\/p>\n

He also stressed the importance of the extractive, chemical, and military industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately, in two years we will have gas in the Black Sea; we must know how to use this intelligently,\u201d the president added.<\/p>\n

During the same interview, the president rejected any scenario in which the current centrist coalition government would fall apart, and said that Romania must develop a long-term vision. He also argued that people\u2019s distrust of government causes them to look more fondly on the communist period, despite the latter’s obvious drawbacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
