The president of a Romanian county council, Ilie Bolojan, has publicly questioned a recent meeting between Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan and three Members of the European Parliament. The meeting took place at a Brussels restaurant on June 18th and included the head of the Romanian Protection and Prevention Service (SPP), Lucian Pahonțu, responsible for the mayor’s security. Bolojan’s comments followed the release of a photograph showing the group dining together. The context and purpose of the meeting are currently unclear, prompting scrutiny regarding potential conflicts of interest or inappropriate use of security resources. Bolojan has not specified his concerns, but his public statement indicates a need for clarification. The incident has sparked debate within Romanian political circles regarding transparency and accountability. Further investigation may be needed to determine the nature of the discussions held during the dinner.
