David Popovici is the man of the moment in the Romanian and World Press, receiving praise for the demonstration of force made at the birth World Cup. His name is on the lips of everyone, even those who “rolled” between the two tours of the presidential elections, when he urged the Romanians – indirectly – to vote with Nicușor Dan to the detriment of George Simion.
Then he appeared in a clip posted on the social networks in which he urged people to vote: “I do not think it is hard to guess what I want to talk to you. I stayed a lot to think about if I am ready for such exposure, and the answer was always intuitive. I am not alone in this country and I care. So my message is simple: go to vote. I want to stay in Romania, at least during my sports career, that’s why I’m sure. I can do this only in a politically healthy Romania, which promises and strives to do.
Support for Nicușor Dan
Many ask me what I have, a sportsman, with politics, that maybe I should see my basin and shut my mouth. Those who think so greet them, but I tell them that each of us has to do with politics, whether he is a student, engineer, mechanic or poet. The policy looks at us all, from the air we breathe to the safety we feel when we go on the street ”said David Popovici, in a story on Instagram, writing on a board a complicated integral, whose result was 11, fixed the position that was Nicușor Dan on the ballot in the first round.

As Romania is divided in two political point of view, and the principle “who is not with me, is against me”, the reactions to the athlete were of two types: praises and insults, more precisely a wave of hate on the social networks in which David was blamed to have an opposite opinion to the so-called sovereigns.
Made stupid and traitor
“Sweets are the silver of betrayal!”, “Better shut up”, “Be laughed at that time, you and those who voted!”, “Normally, it was on a lot of money”, “Being a gentleman/ being a great thing/ David is a bad man”, “For me David Popovici is as important”, The man to vote with whom he wants, who dictates his mind if he has this! “,” David Popovici and Simona Halep are not patriots.were just a few of the comments to the swimmer.
