Yes. [0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=4) During his term as president or before that? [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=7) No, when he was mayor. When he was mayor. And what do you think of him? [0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=14) I expressed my opinion during a, uh, televised appearance on national television. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=23) I wasn't tuned in then, and perhaps neither was a large part of today's audience. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=28) You know, when you feed your ego, you can't feed a country. [0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=33) That was my opinion. But were there also times when you got along with him? [0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=37) Because I understand it wasn't, it was just one meeting then, just once, or were there more? [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=42) I don't know. I think one or two. Two, I think there were three meetings. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=47) I don't remember well. Would you tell me what it was about? [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=52) I was coordinating a project related to sustainable development at the level of cities, through the United Nations Programme for Development, and on this occasion I met with… [1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=64) I understand. Okay, who is the best prime minister Romania has had since 1990, in our opinion? [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=73) The question cannot be asked because they all betrayed the country. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=79) Interesting, but strictly from the perspective of economic criteria, wasn’t there anyone who performed well? [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=87) You know, it’s no use being highly educated if you can’t have an opinion of your own and do what others tell you. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=96) Okay, but the best president? Same opinion. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=103) I can tell you the most disastrous one. Yes, I’d really like to hear. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=114) Emil Constantinescu. By far. Ouch! Why? Because this man betrayed precisely the hope of Romania that had been born then, in 1996. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=133) And on top of that, we lost a large part of our territories for a false objective. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=140) Namely, joining the European Union and NATO. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=143) From territories that do not belong to us at this moment. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=147) They no longer belong to us now, of course. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=148) Are you referring to signing the treaty with Ukraine? [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=151) And on top of that, do not forget what happened in the former Yugoslavia. [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=157) I do not know how you can sleep when thousands of people died over a signature, so that the airspace could be flown over free of charge. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=166) This was the price paid by Romania to join these international bodies, NATO and the European Union. [2:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=174) Quite a high price. From the perspective of some members of diplomacy, it was a price we had to pay. [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=181) Others say it was extremely cynical. And I understand your arguments, honestly, and I do not dispute them. [3:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=187) So the most, as the weakest president, in our opinion, Emil Constantinescu. [3:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=193) What did you learn from our wife, who is first and foremost a wellness expert, a speaker, holistic trainer and, among other things, also specialized in detoxification? What brought you into our lives? [3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mNYTpm5DCPxQ/en/romanian-leaders-views-on-iohannis-and-emil-constantinescu?t=204) Nobility, nobility and especially alongside it, alongside nobility, in that sense, the courage to be a woman and to be a princess in a world that wants to be destroyed as a family.
