Oprea: I have voted for a united and strong Romania

Deputy Prime Minister Gabriel Oprea, the interior minister, said Sunday, after casting his ballot in the presidential runoff election at School No. 150 of Bucharest, that he voted for a united and strong Romania.

'I have voted for Romania's progress. I have voted for a united and strong Romania where all citizens feel safe. Romania is a member state of the European Union and NATO that meets all its commitments to its international partners. Romania is a country that generates stability and security in its geographical region,' said Oprea.

He added that he will go to the headquarters of the Interior Ministry (MAI) to oversee the smooth running of the runoff.

'Nearly 60,000 of my fellow border police officers, gendarmes and firefighters are on duty and they will do their duty to uphold the law, to keep public peace and for today's vote to reflect exactly the will of Romanians. I go to MAI, where I will join the entire leadership of the ministry, and I will be directly overseeing the observance of law,' said Oprea. AGERPRES
