A photograph circulating widely shows Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan dining with Romanian Intelligence Service (SPP) Chief Lucian Pahonțu and Members of the European Parliament Rareș Bogdan, Victor Negrescu, and Eugen Tomac at a Brussels restaurant. The meeting took place on Thursday before the European Council summit. Digi24 initially released the image, prompting inquiries from news outlets like Libertatea regarding the purpose of the gathering. Those present have been contacted for comment, but details regarding the discussion remain scarce. The meeting’s timing and the presence of the SPP chief alongside political figures have raised questions, particularly given current political dynamics. It is unclear whether the meeting was official or informal in nature, and further clarification is expected from those involved.
