Nicusor Dan stated that the report regarding the annulment of the presidential elections in Romania will be made public but he emphasized that he is avoiding providing any further timelines for its release, noting that the document is expected to include 'interesting' information concerning Calin Georgescu's background.

He was asked when and whether the report on the annulment of the elections would be made public.

'As to the report on the annulment of the elections, I have already provided an answer, but I will summarize it very briefly. First, there was a clear financial irregularity, yes. One candidate reported zero campaign expenses, yet there is clear evidence that substantial sums were spent during this campaign; investigations into the money trail are currently underway, but the fact that significant amounts were spent is well-established. Second, concerning Russian influence: a year ago, the Prosecutor General presented certain facts. Third, the broader picture is much more extensive. In other words, both in Romania and across Europe, there is clearly a hybrid war being waged by the Russian Federation, involving hundreds of instances of sabotage throughout Europe (a few of which occurred in Romania), hundreds or perhaps thousands of cyberattacks, and disinformation campaigns documented in many of these countries. When the report is released, I hope this entire broader picture will be presented to the public,' stated President Nicusor Dan on Tuesday evening, during a press conference at Cotroceni Palace.

The head of state was asked what 'guise' Calin Georgescu might be wearing, given that it has been claimed, among other things, that he is 'the Russians' man' or 'a product of the Romanian system' and two years after the annulment of the presidential elections in Romania, these matters have yet to be clearly clarified by the authorities.

'When the political crisis arose, I halted all discussions with the institutions involved in drafting the report on the elections and Russian influence. I can tell you that there was some interesting information regarding his background, information that is not currently in the public domain, and all of it will be included in that report. As I told your colleagues, I do not wish to provide any more timelines; I have done so before, and, as it turned out, time proved me wrong, so I am avoiding that now,' replied President Nicusor Dan.
