Dan's "Autistic Parliament" Remark Resurfaces Amidst Simion's Criticism

Nicușor Dan's 2016 criticism of the Romanian Parliament resurfaced recently after George Simion made similar comments. In a video clip from a 2016 USR conference in Timișoara, Dan is shown stating, "Nu mai vrem să avem un Parlament autist." (We don't want an autistic parliament anymore.) This statement, made when Dan was the president of USR, has drawn renewed attention due to Simion's recent remarks. While Simion's comments targeted specific individuals, Dan's criticism was directed at the institution itself. This contrast highlights differing approaches to political discourse and criticism within the Romanian political landscape. The video's short duration and clear message make it easily adaptable for news reporting.
