In a press conference, Dominic Fritz emphasized the need for AUR to accept the election result and not to challenge the legitimacy of the elected President Nicușor Dan. Fritz accused AUR of spreading rhetoric that undermines democracy, likening it to strategies used in other countries, including Russia. He called on other democratic parties to join a "cordon sanitaire" against such practices. Fritz stressed that the elections were fair and underlined the importance of recognizing the will of the people for Romania's democratic stability.
