It is not too late to ask to be treated with respect as citizens, to demand that the state responsibly take care of the public services to which we are entitled, such as healthcare, education, access to justice. It is not too late to want a Romania respected internationally for its ability to promote its interests and respect its partners. (...) In order to put into practice what we suggest, Romania needs to be led by an involved, competent and visionary president, a well-known and respected professional inside and outside the country, a person who believes with the same power as we do in the rebirth of Romania. We recognize the president we need in the person of Mircea Geoana," Bortun said.He mentioned that among all the possible candidates in this year's presidential election, Geoana is the only one who has a transformative vision and who will be able to unleash the positive energies of the nation.
