  • Eugen Tomac, designated to form Romania's next government, defines his political identity through patriotism and Western alignment.
  • Tomac expresses strong views on international relations, calling the U.S. trustworthy and Russia an "enemy."

Eugen Tomac, the politician tasked with forming Romania's next government, has offered a clear definition of his political identity, emphasizing patriotism, a firm Western orientation, and a call for political responsibility during a critical time for the nation. In a recent interview, Tomac presented his core values and how he perceives Romania's place in the world.

Tomac's self-definition is rooted in his national and European affiliations. "Romania - my country," he stated, immediately linking it to the relationship with Moldova, which he considers "part of my country." His commitment to the European project is equally strong, expressed as "Europe - I carry it in my soul."

His stance on major global powers is unequivocal. Tomac declared "I trust" when referring to the United States, while firmly labeling Russia as an "enemy." He also expressed respect for Ukraine as "a country we respect." Internationally, he described Donald Trump as "an influential and important leader" and Vladimir Putin as someone who "despises us." China's Xi Jinping was characterized as "a leader who has consolidated his position."

Domestically, Tomac offered assessments of various political figures. He called Nicuศ™or Dan "a president who will write history for our country" and Ilie Bolojan "a politician with a lot of experience." Grindeanu was described as "a politician quite willing to do important things for the country to move forward," and Dominic Fritz as "a political leader whom I respect." Kelemen Hunor was labeled "a politician with much experience and a good Romanian of Hungarian ethnicity." The sharpest criticism was reserved for George Simion, leader of AUR, whom Tomac called "a politician who does not respect the rules."

When asked to describe himself, Tomac responded, "a Romanian who loves his country." He further defined key concepts such as "Country - is what we feel and believe represents us," and "Future - I believe in Romania's future." His views on democracy, freedom, and justice underscore a commitment to established rules and a desire for greater fairness.
