Romanian President Nicusor Dan identifies a stable government as his primary accomplishment to date.

In the first 100 days of his presidency, Nicusor Dan has faced a series of challenges and made significant decisions.

The president has been under criticism for the absence of expert advisers at the presidency, a situation that contrasts with the experts advising Ilie Bolojan's government, although the specific roles of President Dan in Bolojan's government are not clearly detailed.

One of President Dan's actions was referring a draft law toughening penalties for antisemitism to the Constitutional Court. However, his objections were rejected, sparking debate about his stance on the issue.

President Dan and Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's early political partnership perception has shifted, with speculation about Dan's alleged preferences for intelligence service leadership appointments and past comments on the far-right Fundația Ion Gavrila Ogoranu fuelling concerns about his political positioning.

Despite these challenges, President Dan declared that forming a stable government is his main achievement in the first 100 days in office. He also believes that the parties in Romanian politics deserve appreciation for backing the government.

On the economic front, Bolojan overruled data presented by Public Administration Minister Cseke Attila, setting a firm target of a 10% reduction in current staff. The prime minister has stated that the government alone is responsible for economic policy.

The relationship between the president, government, and Parliament in Romania has not had tensions, according to President Dan. However, the government's actions have diverged from President Dan's views on fiscal reforms, with Dan arguing for a more gradual approach contrasting Ilie Bolojan's insistence on rapid measures.

The public deficit problem in Romania has come under control, according to President Dan. The reform of local administrations was delayed by two weeks but is now expected to be the central element of the second reform package.

President Dan has stated that his external activity has been consistently underpinned by many meetings. He also mentioned that discussions among parties in Romania are good at the moment, with the coalition in Romanian politics currently operational.

Despite the criticisms and disagreements, President Dan evaluated his performance in office as 7-8 out of ten. He described his relationship with Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan as "correct," with certain personal disagreements.

In conclusion, President Dan's first 100 days in office have been marked by a mix of challenges, decisions, and achievements. As he moves forward, it will be interesting to see how these dynamics evolve in the Romanian political landscape.
