The head of state decided to use a Dacia Logan, made in Romania, instead of his Volkswagen Golf, to encourage people to buy Romanian products. He said he saw no difference between the Dacia and the old car he was driving.

He said the only difference between a regular Dacia Logan and the one he currently drives is that the latter is subjected daily to check-ups by protection services.

He pointed out 85% of the products sold in supermarkets are made in Romania, contrary to the statements made by producers on television stations.

Basescu said he will continue to buy Romanian products to support the local economy.

“I will have a Dacia car at my disposal as of tomorrow. I will also buy Romanian tomatoes, Romanian milk and butter as of next week, when I do my shopping on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, each of us will help the national economy,” Basescu said Monday evening.
