Bucharest, December 27, 2025 – In a surprising turn of events, Romanian businessman Gigi Becali publicly apologized to Nicușor Dan, the current mayor of Bucharest, after years of criticism. The unexpected gesture occurred after Dan ascended to the mayoral office, marking a significant shift in their previously contentious relationship.
The businessman, known for his outspoken nature, extended an olive branch to the mayor, acknowledging past disagreements.
- Gigi Becali, previously critical of Nicușor Dan, offered a public apology.
- the apology came after Dan became mayor of Bucharest.
- Becali later praised Dan as a “humble man,” contrasting him with other political figures.
- Despite initial praise, Becali recently questioned Dan’s understanding of his position.
“If this man (Nicușor Dan) sees me talking on the phone and passes by… He’s the president of Romania,I’ve already spelled him,haven’t I? And the man passes by,sees me and turns to shake my hand! I was sitting on the chair,I stood up and shook hands with him.He said ‘Hello’ and I said ‘Lord, forgive me for what I have done!'” Becali stated several months ago, according to romaniatv.net.
The initial display of goodwill continued at the consecration of the Cathedral of the Salvation of the nation, where the two exchanged friendly greetings. Becali subsequently lauded Dan, stating, “You can’t compare him to other presidents. I shook hands with him, he smiled, he’s very nice…”
Though, on the second day of Christmas, Becali appeared to walk back some of his praise, despite still referring to Dan as a “humble man.” He added a critical note, stating, “He has no idea, he knows nothing.”
“Let me tell you why I like him. You’ll see… Except one who is only interested in walking and who is a foreigner, better Nicușor Dan. He is a humble man, he is on his job, he does no harm to the world. He has humility! He has no idea, he knows nothing (in relation to the position he holds), but only one who neither knows nor has any humility… The world applauds him, pictures of him. Why? Humility,he is humble,” Becali explained.
What makes Nicușor dan stand out, according to Gigi Becali, is his humility, a trait Becali believes garners public favor.
