Ludovic Orban, leader of the Forța Dreptei party, publicly criticized Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan, accusing him of abandoning campaign promises and aligning with political forces he previously opposed. Orban alleges Dan has betrayed the trust of voters who supported him with the expectation he would challenge the established political order. He stated he supported Dan to fight *alongside* him against these forces, implying a current shift in Dan’s priorities. The statement suggests a potential withdrawal of support for Dan, even raising the possibility of calling for his removal from office. This public rebuke signals growing tensions within the Romanian political landscape and a fracturing of the alliance that brought Dan to power. Orban’s comments represent a significant challenge to Dan’s leadership and future political viability. The dispute centers on perceived ideological deviations and broken commitments.
