Traian Basescu Romania Quotations

I ask you to stand by my side in the next five years. We shall live a good life in a Romania of all Romanians.

The increase in salaries at private companies has exploded, and Romania also faces a labor shortage, especially in construction. We believe that the Romanian market will remain an incentive, so that migration will not be an issue.

There is no such thing as several Romanias, but only politicians who divide Romania depending on the interests of their parties and their clout.

More than ever, Romania now needs to see that a force exists that puts an end to Ponta and Antonescu's abuses and coup d'etat. This force is none other than the Romanian people.

Romania will continue to fulfil its obligations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

When I was the captain of a ship I never failed to bring my ship to port and I won't fail to bring Romania to safe harbor. The belief that the president no longer represents the people is false.

The reforms that we are to undergo this year - many of which extremely difficult - serve the interest of modernizing our society and economy. No one will ever gain if Romania joins the European Union still unprepared. In the long run, our goal is to transform the European integration effort into tangible benefits in the living standard of each and every Romanian citizen.
