Le Monde: Nicușor Dan, fragilizat de dezvăluirile despre șeful serviciului de protecție / Popularitatea președintelui a scăzut după mai multe decizii și declarații care i-au contrazis angajamentele din campanie
Le Monde reports on the declining popularity of Romanian President Nicușor Dan, triggered by allegations against Lucian Pahonțu, head of the SPP. Dan's defense of Pahonțu, who is accused of involvement in the 1989 repression, has disappointed his electorate. Historian Mădălin Hodor argues that Dan is mistaken in his assurances about Pahonțu's actions, as no verification has been conducted. The president faces growing skepticism from voters, with some civil society figures announcing they will not support him in future elections. Criticism has also arisen from Dan's recent decisions that contradict his electoral promises, including his nationalist rhetoric and associations with far-right figures.
