President Nicușor Dan stated that he chose not to attend the funeral of former state leader Ion Iliescu in order to maintain a balance, considering the controversial decisions made by him during his political career. Dan emphasized that Romania lost an important opportunity for rapid development after the fall of communism, and Ion Iliescu is responsible for this. He also mentioned that Iliescu played a significant role in forming the National Salvation Front and was involved in controversial events, such as the miners' riots. However, Nicușor Dan acknowledged that Iliescu was appreciated by many people, but insisted that, as president, he tried to maintain a balance in assessing his political legacy.
