“Together with my crew (friends, collaborators, experts), we are working on a new project. We will begin preparations for feature documentary which has the following subjects: tragedies repeating for the last 30 years in Romania because of traffic accidents and the insolence of those who led Romania, the Romanians’ comfort zone and lack of caring, the importance of a small ant-step for an entire country, the reactivation of the Romanians’ conscience, corruption and the political sphere which contaminate the people’s courage,” the businessman wrote on his Facebook page.

According to Mandachi, the project will include interviews with politicians from all parties, other entrepreneurs, athletes, intellectuals, priests, journalists, policemen and doctors, during which his team will attempt to find who is “guilty for more than 2,000 deaths yearly”.

The entrepreneur became notorious after he made a public call for nationwide protests on March 15 regarding the lack of highway infrastructure, and symbolically funded the construction of one meter of highway in Suceava county for the event, which he called the first meter of highway built in the historical region of Moldova.
