Nicușor Dan announces a press conference at Cotroceni on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.

President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, will hold a press conference on Tuesday, November 10, at Cotroceni Palace. The event will begin at 19:00, and the head of state announced that he would speak about the challenges of recent months and priorities for the period ahead.

“I will speak openly about the challenges of recent months and priorities for the period ahead during a press conference,” Nicușor Dan said Monday evening in a Facebook post.

This will be the first press conference organized by the president at Cotroceni Palace since the installation of the government led by Luca Niculescu. The new cabinet was sworn in on October 20, following a political crisis that began on May 5, when the Ilie Bolojan government was dismissed through a motion of no confidence initiated by the PSD and AUR.

During the crisis, Nicușor Dan nominated four candidates for the position of prime minister. The fourth, Luca Niculescu, managed to form a government alongside the PSD.

The press conference takes place one day after the statements delivered by the president together with Ursula von der Leyen, who is in Bucharest. The two discussed security in the Black Sea and investments in the defense sector. The President of the European Commission subsequently also met with Prime Minister Luca Niculescu.
