“It is essential to go on the street, talk to people, tell them what your program is in a language that everyone can understand. I will extend to the national level the example from Câmpulung, where I have been many times in the neighborhoods and talked to many people, listened to their problems and I looked for solutions and I will go into the country to many villages and communes to talk to the people directly, face to face. 2024 will be the year of peak change for Romania”Elena Lasconi revealed for “Adevărul”.
