“Fake news has a huge influence on our population, and in Eastern Europe in general. Something we all have in common in this part of Europe is our political history of communism. Under leaders like Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's longtime dictator, who was overthrown and executed in 1989, nobody trusted their neighbors, nobody trusted the authorities, nobody trusted anybody.”

“This wave is far worse than the others - it is like a war. We go into our wards but don't know when we will come out. What makes the surge particularly difficult is that it could have been easily avoided. A few who got shots fell seriously ill but this was because their immune systems had been compromised by treatment for cancer or other illnesses. The only real reason anyone is here is because they did not get vaccinated.”

“There is a very large part of Romanian society that is not necessarily anti-vaccine, but which is skeptical, which is not convinced by the images from intensive-care units or the words of experts, considering that it is all a big lie or exaggerated hysteria.”

“Perhaps among the few who are true believers on the issue of anti-vaccination is Sosoaca [Diana Sosoaca]. I don't know if Sosoaca was always so committed, but somehow she became so. She sees conspiracies everywhere, grabs at all the rumors and passes them on.”

“We are in a time of crisis, and in such moments, politicians must take responsibility. Our goal is clear: to prepare a government which will pass through parliament quickly and can manage the crisis… I do not think these parties, the PNL [Liberal Party] and UDMR [Democratic Union of the Hungarians in Romania], will refuse because that would prolong the crisis.”

“I took a necessary decision. A few minutes ago, I sent the President of Romania the request to dismiss the Justice Minister, Mr Stelian Ion. I will not accept ministers in the government who oppose the modernization of Romania. Stelian Ion … failed to impose himself in the coalition, failed to complete his projects.”

“The governments of the countries that oppose this conditionality [not violating rule-of-law principles to avoid having the funds cut off] must understand that it is necessary to build public trust around this program, which is extremely important for relaunching the economy of the whole of Europe, for the benefit of citizens in Poland and Hungary. I don’t believe that a government can tell its own citizens that this plan should be blocked. All taxpayers from EU member countries should have the guarantee that the money is used correctly.”
