Following George Simion's controversial statements on French television, Nicușor Dan, an independent candidate in the presidential elections, sent a message in French, expressing his regret and apologizing on behalf of the Romanian people. Simion criticized Paris and called President Macron a "dictator", provoking outrage from French journalists, who stressed that France is a democracy. The negative reactions were heightened by Simion's comparisons between France and Iran, which prompted a firm response from the show's moderator.
