Merdeneaua care a împărțit Bucureștiul în două. Nicușor Dan a gustat-o. Ce a urmat? • Newsweek România
A post about merdenele from Piața Amzei sparked a controversy, leading to long queues at a local pastry shop. Nicușor Dan, who tasted a merdenea during his 2025 campaign, remains neutral in the debate. The initial criticism backfired, resulting in increased support for the bakery, prompting apologies from the author of the post. Nea Mihai, the pastry shop owner, emphasized community and unity, rejecting rivalries. The incident evolved into a social media phenomenon, encouraging people to celebrate the merdenea.
