Journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu launched an attack against President Nicușor Dan, criticizing him for his insistence on contesting the law regarding the fight against extremism, approved by Parliament and validated by the Constitutional Court. Cristian Tudor Popescu emphasizes that Nicușor Dan is the only person in the leadership of Romania who opposes this law, even AUR having no comments against it. The journalist suggests that the president is trying to protect an organization from Făgăraș, which had among its members also legionnaires, and labels his justifications as absurd. Cristian Tudor Popescu explains that the law provides exceptions for literary works used for educational and artistic purposes, thus contradicting the fears expressed by Nicușor Dan. He also mentions that the Constitutional Court rejected a similar challenge from the president, which makes his return to the subject even more surprising. Additionally, Cristian Tudor Popescu accuses Nicușor Dan of a serious act on National Day, when he decorated a veteran involved in the crimes of the Romanian army in World War II. Finally, he asks his readers whether the president's behavior reflects something "dark and cold."
