The clip comes from footage of Romanian politician Corneliu Vadim Tudor at the grave of pilot Adrian Iovan, who died in a 2014 plane crash in the Apuseni Mountains. While being filmed, Vadim grows impatient with his aide and urges him on with the phrase hai mai repede. The short exchange was later lifted from news coverage and shared on Romanian soundboards and social media, where it became a reusable reaction for impatience rather than a political moment.
