Summary, in English

The Romanian healthcare system faces various structural issues such as corruption, underfunding, and lack of modernization. As hospitals make every effort to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic around the country, there have been two deadly hospital fires. This study strives to reconstruct and evaluate Romanian President Klaus Iohannis’ arguments given in favor of health reform in response to the two events. The methodology used for this thesis was critical discourse analysis with an argumentative approach promoted by Fairclough and Faiclough (2012). Within this methodological framework, political discourse is understood mainly as practical argumentation, argumentation for or against particular ways of acting. The results of the study point that there are several problematic areas within the given arguments. For instance, neither of the arguments brings forward a clear goal, and the claims can be challenged on multiple accounts.
