Romanian President Nicușor Dan sent a message on Monday on the occasion of the Regional Ministerial Conference on the Elimination of Violence against Children, an event organized by the Ministry of Labor, Family, Youth and Social Solidarity, in partnership with UNICEF and the UN Special Representative on Violence against Children.
In his speech, the president emphasized the seriousness of the phenomenon: „Violence against children is not justified under any circumstances. It is a phenomenon often passed over in silence, which leaves deep scars and invisible traces in adult life. Our future as a nation depends on how we raise our children”.
He presented alarming data from the UNICEF 2024 Report.
“Two out of three children globally are regularly subjected to violent punishment at home. In 2024, one in six adolescents aged 15 to 19 was a victim of physical or sexual violence by a husband or partner. Moreover, almost one in four children live in households where the mother is a victim of domestic violence,” adds the head of state.
Nicușor Dan highlighted the need to change mentalities and legislation.
“It is essential to continue joint programs and actions, both at national and regional levels, to prevent violence and promote the rights of children to grow up in safety, respect and dignity. We need stronger laws, clear policies, but also a change in mentalities,” according to the president.
The president also emphasized the shared responsibility of society.
“Protecting children is not just the responsibility of institutions. It is our shared responsibility, authorities, family and school. We know what works: universal prevention through school programs and online safety; early support for families; justice and protection systems that are sensitive to the needs of the child, that do not retraumatize”, Nicușor Dan transmits.
In conclusion, his message was a call for concrete action: “This Conference is not just a meeting. It is an opportunity for commitments to become concrete actions to eliminate violence against children. A protected child today means a strong adult tomorrow. Violence against children is not something natural, but a choice of society. And, together, we can choose a different path”.
The message was presented by Marius-Gabriel Lazurca, Presidential Advisor.

Trump i-a spus președintelui Israelului de la pupitrul parlamentului israelian să îl grațieze pe Benjamin Netanyahu. Cerință pe care chiar Trump a spus că nu o avea în discursul pregătit.
„De ce nu-i acorzi grațierea?” a spus Trump către președintelui Israelului în legătură cu acuzațiile aduse lui Netanyahu.
„Se întâmplă să-mi placă acest domn de aici și mi se pare că are atât de mult sens, știți, fie că ne place sau nu, acesta a fost unul dintre cei mai mari președinți ( n.r premieri) din timpul de război”, a spus el.
„Trabucuri și șampanie, cui îi pasă”, a spus el, referindu-se la acuzația că Netanyahu ar fi primit cadouri scumpe, precum trabucuri și șampanie, de la oameni de afaceri străini.
Prim-ministrul Israelului a fost pus sub acuzare în 2019 pentru luare de mită, fraudă și abuz, acuzații pe care le neagă. Procesul său este blocat pe perioada cât acestea este premier.
Trump a continuat apoi spunând „asta nu era în discurs”, dar adaugă că „se întâmplă să-mi placă domnii de aici”.
„Pare atât de logică” ( n.r grațierea), a adăugat el el.
Comentariile sale au fost întâmpinate cu aplauze în Knesset ( parlamentul Israelului)
„Ajunge cu controversele… de fapt, nu cred că este foarte controversat”, a spus apoi Trump.
Aparent adresându-se lui Netanyahu, el a spus: „Ești un om foarte popular, știi de ce? Pentru că știi cum să câștigi”.

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan participated on Monday at the event organized by Star Assembly Sebeș, a company part of the Mercedes-Benz group, where he congratulated the factory management, local authorities and employees for their contribution to Romania’s economic development.
„I thank the Mercedes group management for the decision to invest in Romania and expand production here. These investments mean technology transfer, jobs and the integration of Romanian industry into the European value chain”, the prime minister said.
The Head of Government emphasized the essential role of private sector employees in supporting the economy: “People who work in the real economy, not storytellers, are driving Romania forward. Through their work, they pay taxes every day that allow us, the state, to make public investments.”
Bolojan also spoke about the importance of collaboration between investors and local authorities.
“When a foreign investment comes to a country, stability, predictability, but also the attitude of local authorities matter. If you have a city hall that supports projects, that provides authorizations quickly and develops partnerships in dual education, success is guaranteed,” says Ilie Bolojan.
The Prime Minister recalled that Mercedes-Benz is investing over 100 million euros in Sebeș, contributing significantly to the local economy.
“For every hundred pieces produced, one symbolically goes to the Sebeș city hall — because 60% of the payroll tax remains in the local budget. This is the true form of public-private partnership,” the prime minister mentions.
Ilie Bolojan emphasized the importance of dual education and corporate social responsibility“If we want a competitive country, we must have a qualified workforce. I congratulate the Mercedes company for the support offered to education and the local community, including for the construction of a kindergarten in Sebeș. This is what a responsible company looks like.”
The prime minister conveyed that the Romanian Government will continue to support foreign investments and ensure a stable economic climate, based on predictability and partnership.
“A healthy economy is built through work, seriousness and investments. Romania must remain a safe and attractive country for investors,” Bolojan concludes.
