@thorhop As a centrist, he did great things while being the mayor of Bucharest. He reorganized the public transit to cover more areas previously uncovered, brought new vehicles to the fleet (both trams, buses and trolleybuses), signed contracts to repair the tram lines that give you a bumpy ride and haven’t been repaired since ages (funding is due from the EU, as the local budget was sabotaged by the “social-democrats” in the local council) and contracted a consulting company to create a master plan for a bike path network all around the city. He also focused on repairing the aging central heating pipes so that we won’t have problems with heating in the winter anymore, especially by replacing them with new pipes with special sensors to detect leaking in time. Public lighting was also switched to LED on multiple arteries, saving money and electricity at the same time, and he managed to complete the water treatment plant at Glina, a project that should have been finished years ago by the previous “social-democrat” mayors.

Imo he’s more than just an alternative, he’s simply the way to go, and I’m glad he’s now a president.
