A prominent Romanian conservative figure, former diplomat Sever Voinescu, has publicly criticized President Klaus Iohannis’ attempt to divide the National Liberal Party (PNL). In an upcoming interview with HotNews, Voinescu asserts this strategy is a “huge mistake.” He suggests Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan is being misled by individuals wielding significant power through money, influence, and information. Voinescu believes the President may overestimate his ability to act independently, stating he “probably imagines he can do it alone. He cannot!” The interview indicates a concern that Dan is being manipulated and that the President’s approach is ill-advised. Voinescu’s comments represent a rare public rebuke of the President’s political maneuvering. The full interview will be published tomorrow.
