In recent months, a wave of dissatisfaction has been outlined among the voters who enthusiastically supported Nicușor Dan. Dissatisfaction does not come from political opposition, but from the perception that promises of change and assumption are not respected, and the president remains absent in public communication.
A wave of dissatisfaction has been outlined among the voters of Nicușor Dan Presiden
Among the most resounding examples, recently published in the public space, are Corina Băcanu Călărașu and Tudor Chirilă.
Public persons ask the president tangible results
Corina Băcanu Călărașu, journalist and influencer, was one of Nicușor Dan’s active supporters at the May 18 elections. She was present even at the president’s investment, but recently she began to express her dissatisfaction with the reality of the last months.
In a broad and incisive post, it criticizes him for the lack of reaction and for misunderstandings with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, the symbol of “work and efficiency” in the campaign.
“Dear Nicușor Dan, you were not chosen because you are more friendly or because you are more presidential than others. You were chosen because you promised a real change. You were chosen because you said you would make Bolojan prime minister, that a government of people who really work will be built. Efficiency, it is alone … and this silence is not a strategy.she wrote on Facebook.
In the continuation of his message, the journalist emphasizes that the silence of the president cannot be justified as a political strategy, but is perceived as abandonment of those who supported him. She compares him to Klaus Iohannis, saying that through his inactivity, extremism and political conflicts are fed.
“And what do you do? Shut up and disappear. And this silence is not nobility, it is complicity. Every day you do not answer, every day you do not explain, every day when you are Iohannis two extremists grow. You feed them.”says the journalist.
Corina Bǎcanu also emphasizes the need for the president to show courage and involvement in key fields such as education, health and justice.
“Give the teachers’ money, but not to get on the functional illiterate tape. Give the doctors everything they need, but not to die the patients from carelessness or mistakes. You have built the whole campaign on the idea of work and honesty. And now you disappear exactly when you should show that you can work and you can work.”she wrote.
On the same line, Tudor Chirilă, an artist and known as Nicușor Dan’s supporter, published a message on Facebook critic to the president, in response to recent statements about magistrates.
“You are president because 6 million people wanted this and it’s time to fulfill your obligations to us. I still hope he wanted to say something other than the quoted statement. But if our judges work more than the European ones, I have some questions: how it is that Ion Iliescu has died in the case, how the case is not. prescribed or unrecovered damages? ”asks Tudor Chirila.
The artist recalls that voters are not “habotic followers” and that 5% of the president’s mandate has already passed, and the electoral promises must be honored:
“Take this post as a necessary criticism, I have granted you the vote, it is a right I have exercised, it is time to fulfill your obligations to us. You are the President of Romania because 6 million people wanted this. At work, as you said three months ago,” he said.
Citizens’ reactions between frustration and hope
The posts of Corina Băcanu Călărașu and Tudor Chirilă generated hundreds of comments on social networks, reflecting both the disappointment and the high expectations of the voters. The messages of the supporters emphasize a tension between the loyalty to the president and the need for concrete, visible and coherent actions.
Some citizens are directly disappointed by the slow pace of the mandate and see Nicușor Dan overcome by the challenges of the function.
“Nicușor is lost, the hat seems too big for him! He started with his left, poor!”someone wrote.
Others appreciate Tudor Chirilă’s messages, considering them correctly and well argued.
“The comment is so clear … even for the President of Romania. It just has to work … so! Bravo, Tudor Chirilă!”says an internet.
“And once again Tudor Chirilă tells them that a great man … Civic spirit means to support something when it is to be supported and to challenge something when it is to be challenged. Congratulations Tudor Chirila for integrity.”is another comment.
Others focus on the systemic problems of justice and the difficulties in implementing reforms.
“If clear laws were adopted in the Parliament, if in the leadership positions of justice were not appointed judges and prosecutors affiliated politically, and the magistrates would unite to protest against the bad laws, they would no longer be prescribed criminal cases.”
“If the magistrates work in the double, does they mean they are paid in a double? To where? What criterion? What does the pension work here?”
There are also calls for the direct involvement of the president, with clear requirements for transparency and public communication:
“Come on, Mr. Nicușor Dan with a conference in which to provide implementing terms for everything in your activity, come on with clarifications on the heads of services, let your team of counselors! Apart from the visits (which are indeed important, but should not be an exclusive point in your activity) in the Republic of Moldova! Impartiality! ”
Some commentators make the connection between Nicușor Dan’s political past and the current expectations of the voters.
“He the poor man when he was a mayor, he was just signing a document and did not answer for months on the phones … He bothers him to look for the judges,” says a citizen.
These reactions outline a clear painting: the voters have not completely lost their confidence, but they demand involvement, clarity and tangible results.
The role of mediator and the context of the Bolojan conflict
The editor-in-chief of Historia, Ion M. Ioniță, explains how the silence of the president can be interpreted by the electorate and how his role as a mediator works.
“President Dan had an attitude rather as a mediator, what the Constitution provides. He tries to temper things in the coalition, because a political crisis would be a disaster for Romania. However, his messages are reserved, and the lack of visible communication can be interpreted as absence, which affects the public perception.”he transmitted, for the truth.
The conflict with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, whom the president promised as a symbol of change, generated tensions and amplified the dissatisfaction of the supporters. The editor-in-chief Historia emphasizes that the current political environment requires mediation and strategic communication:
“The result of the ruling coalition is not one to ignore. Five out of six packs of important laws have been adopted, and the president has contributed to this balance. However, public messages are limited, which can be perceived as a lack of involvement.”added Ion M. Ioniță.
Ioniță concludes that the “tone below” communication style of Nicușor Dan places it among the previous presidents: more involved than Klaus Iohannis, but more reserved than Traian Basescu, but this style can feed the public’s frustration if there are no visible actions.
