„Toți voievozii au avut concubine, dar nu le-au trimis să facă diplomație oficial”. Revoltă pe social-media după ce Nicușor Dan și-a trimis partenera la Kiev

Mirabela Grădinaru, partner of Romanian President Nicușor Dan, represented Romania at Ukraine's Independence Day in Kiev, sparking social media debate about the role of the First Lady. While some praised her presence, others criticized the use of the title 'First Lady' as unofficial in Romania. The Presidential Administration stated her participation was at the invitation of Ukraine's First Lady, focusing on resilience in crises. Grădinaru highlighted solidarity between Romania and Ukraine, while critics questioned the legitimacy of her role. Political analysts suggest that a president's partner can play a diplomatic role, though this is not formalized in Romania.
