“An almost unintelligible phrase from Prime Minister Nicolae Cucée’s speech at the forum of Romanian students worldwide is not included in the transcript posted on the government’s website.

In a speech to the students, even after saying he didn’t want to use “big words, I think this activity should be as simple as possible,” Chuke continued: “since the situation is already quite complex and confusing, I don’t think we need to complicate it today with words and expressions, and I think the most important thing is to make it so that we can create a framework through which we can make a functional Romania.”

That last phrase has almost completely disappeared from the transcript on the government’s website, which says only: “It is important to create the structure through which we can make a functional Romania.”
