I'm so sorry he's gone. She, for a long time, struggled with a serious illness.
He fought, he was a very strong man, very intelligent and very prepared.
The thing I really want to say is that she did a lot of good: a lot of people, especially young people, got lessons from her, got life advice.
I think there are many people who can create a better life with the guidance, the knowledge and the way of thinking that Mioara instilled in him.
I am fully convinced that God is resting her, because she fully deserves it“, said Petre Roman on CNN's Antena 3.
