I also liked them from the point of view of sociology, Mr. Dinku is one of the best sociologists in Europe. And he wanted me to learn from his lordship, and that’s how I ended up. After that, I invited him to an event with the “Young Social Democrats” organization, where we recorded about a hundred colleagues as speakers, and then we got to know each other better. Mr. Moldovan introduced us. He invited me to the presentation of the book. Automatically then we met, and when I decided to study sociology more, because I graduated from public administration in Babeş (Bolyai – no), after that I got a master’s degree in communication and PR, and sociology, from my point of view, represents one of the most important sciences that govern the society in which we live. You can’t normally engage in politics if you don’t understand the society you live in and don’t understand people,” Ivan concluded.
