Prominent Romanian conservative intellectual Sever Voinescu has criticized Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan, alleging he has lost control of the political landscape. In an interview, Voinescu suggested Dan is dangerously close to relying on support from the far-right AUR party for political survival. He characterized the current political situation as a “nightmare” and warned that accepting votes from AUR would cross a significant red line. Voinescu also alluded to the responsibility of Ilie Bolojan, a key political figure, in the unfolding situation. The comments raise concerns about the stability of the current coalition and the potential for increasingly unpredictable political maneuvering in Bucharest. Voinescu’s statements reflect growing anxieties among conservative circles regarding the direction of the city’s governance.
