Dragoș Sprînceană, one of the two special emissaries appointed by Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, explained the role they play in relation to the United States.
Dragoș Sprîncean has financed Donald Trump Facebook’s campaign
“I am not an emissary of Mr. Ciolacu, but of Romania. Mr. Ciolacu represents the position of prime minister of Romania and I must help Romania, indirectly“, Said Dragoș Sprînceană, on Sunday evening, at Digi 24.
He claimed that the public and politicians in Romania “I don’t understand what lobbying means in America“.”In the United States, the policy works on a lobby system and that’s exactly what an emissary does. Open doors, open doors, wear negotiations, put Romania in a more positive image than it is and we try together to make American and Trump administration, who just have been installed, to understand exactly the truth in Romania, to understand exactly that Romania is a friend and a strategic partner and Romania will never position itself. This is the job of an emissary in this situation“He added.
Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu appointed two special emissaries to lobby next to the American administration last week. One of them is Dragoș Sprînceană, a Romanian businessman established across the Ocean, who would have been part of Donald Trump’s campaign last year.
Regarding the details related to his quality as a representative of Romania, Dragoș Sprîncean said that he was contacted by the office of Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to facilitate the communication of the Romanian authorities with the new Trump administration.
“No official mandate is issued, I was only asked to intermissive certain discussions, to open certain communication paths. There is no written document, I have no directives from the Romanian Government“He said. He also stated that he does not receive money from Romania and that he is not an employee of the Government of Romania.”If I had a mandate to lobby, there was a contract and I had to be paid. I did it for good will and because I love my country. I sent these messages that were asked to me from Mr. Ciolacu’s office”, Said Dragoș Sprînceană.
Dragoș Sprînceană: “Macron wants to continue this war in Ukraine”
He also said that French President Emmanuel Macron wants the continuation of the Ukraine war. “I am not a fan of President Macron and I think 99% of the Republicans in the United States are not. It does not mean that Mr. Macron represents the European Union. I believe that the values of the European Union are completely different from what Mr. Macron is trying to do now. The United States really wants to stop the Ukraine war. Mr. Macron wants to continue this war in Ukraine“He said, adding that:”As long as Romania aligns with these directions, so to speak, by certain statements of some, the United States will not be delighted. We all want 2,000 people in Ukraine not to die weekly. Romania should want the same thing. We all want the war to end, to render economic prosperity at both European and global levels in the United States. Romania should want the same thing. As long as the war continues, Romania will not be well economical”.
Also, the businessman said that the Trump administration should ignore the pro-Ukraine statements from Bucharest, as long as Romania has an interim president.
“The direction of the United States to Ukraine is the stopping of the war. Mr. Bolojan has publicly declared that he will always be with Ukraine, whatever it is. It means we do exactly what France says“Said Dragoș eyebrow.
Asked what he would express in the discussions with the US Republican leaders, he said: “Exactly what I said to the American administration I also said to Mr. Ciolacu: the American administration must understand and ignore a little messages of Romania, pro-Ukraine and pro-France, because we have an interim president that will not count in a month or a month.”.
Dragoș Sprîncean also stated that connections with the US should be resumed after Romania will have a new president.
“We need to wait to have a new president. We must wait to have a stable administration in Romania and resume the bilateral communication, economic and political and strategic links after these elections. This is the most intelligent and helps, from my point of view, Romania most. And that’s exactly what the United States now do, if you notice“Added the businessman.
