Former Romanian President Traian Băsescu believes that Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan has effectively shielded himself from potential suspension proceedings through the recent formation of the current cabinet led by Luca Niculescu. Băsescu, himself having faced a suspension process during his presidency, suggests the new government, largely composed of Social Democrat ministers, has provided Dan with a level of political security. He contends that this new governing structure drastically reduces the likelihood of anyone initiating a process to remove Dan from office. The appointment of Niculescu’s cabinet serves as a safeguard against such action. Without a significantly different political climate or unforeseen circumstances, Băsescu posits that Dan’s position is now secure. The former president’s comments offer insight into the complex dynamics of Romanian politics and the strategies employed to maintain power.
