When I was the captain of a ship I never failed to bring my ship to port and I won't fail to bring Romania to safe harbor. The belief that the president no longer represents the people is false.

I am elected by the people of Bucharest, not the dogs.

I assure you I will not miss the chance to show you that you were right when you voted for me.

I never promised you a rose garden.

There is no such thing as several Romanias, but only politicians who divide Romania depending on the interests of their parties and their clout.

Romania will continue to fulfil its obligations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
