  • Social Democrat Adrian Câciu criticized Romania's PNL, USR, and UDMR parties, likening their leaders to "iele" (female spirits) who pretend to be fairies.
  • Câciu accused the parties of mimicking political responsibility and defying the will of 70% of Romanians by opposing the proposed Veștea government.
  • He suggested that if the Veștea government fails to pass parliamentary votes, the solution should be early elections.

Social Democrat Adrian Câciu launched a scathing, ironic attack on Romania's PNL, USR, and UDMR parties, accusing their leaders of feigning political responsibility and comparing them to mythical "iele" who aspire to appear as benevolent fairies. The former Finance Minister asserted that if the proposed Veștea government does not secure parliamentary approval, the only viable solution should be the organization of early elections.

Fairies! Pardon, the 'iele' who want to seem like fairies! That's what all these 'bolojeniști' are these days, whether they belong to the party that came in third, fourth, or fifth place in the elections! They are 'iele' who want to seem like fairies! They dance beautifully on screens but leave scorched earth behind them! 'Iele'! 'Iele' who act like grown-ups in politics even though they are already on the verge of their third marriage!

— Adrian CâciuIn a Facebook post criticizing opposing parties.

In a Facebook post, Câciu harshly criticized the parties opposing the Veștea government's investiture, employing vivid language. "Fairies! Pardon, the 'iele' who want to seem like fairies! That's what all these 'bolojeniști' are these days, whether they belong to the party that came in third, fourth, or fifth place in the elections! They are 'iele' who want to seem like fairies! They dance beautifully on screens but leave scorched earth behind them! 'Iele'! 'Iele' who act like grown-ups in politics even though they are already on the verge of their third marriage!" he wrote.

They don't realize they are defying democracy, that they are effectively violating the will of 70% of Romanians, now seeing them governing together, USR-PNL and UDMR with a minority government!

— Adrian CâciuAccusing parties of defying the electorate.

Câciu further accused these parties of defying the electorate's will. "They don't realize they are defying democracy, that they are effectively violating the will of 70% of Romanians, now seeing them governing together, USR-PNL and UDMR with a minority government!" he stated. The former minister continued his attack, alleging political hypocrisy: "'Iele', as I said! Who pretend to be fairies! Who don't want PSD but want to be voted for by PSD! Who don't want AUR but, if they could vote for them, AUR would be fine too. Just as it's fine when they pass their laws! The Romanian people are good for these 'iele' only when they allow themselves to be politically, democratically violated by minorities! Fairies, what else can I say!"

We are exactly like in the period before the no-confidence motion! But, exactly the same! The 'bolojeniști', these fairies, the 'iele' actually, announced everywhere that the motion wouldn't pass, that there weren't enough votes, that they, the minorities, or they, the fairies, the 'iele', would do it!

— Adrian CâciuDrawing parallels to a past no-confidence motion.

Drawing parallels to the period preceding the no-confidence motion against the previous government, Câciu claimed the current situation mirrors that time. He recalled how the same parties allegedly denied the existence of sufficient votes for the motion. "We are exactly like in the period before the no-confidence motion! But, exactly the same! The 'bolojeniști', these fairies, the 'iele' actually, announced everywhere that the motion wouldn't pass, that there weren't enough votes, that they, the minorities, or they, the fairies, the 'iele', would do it!" the former minister added. He noted the intense political propaganda, stating, "The entire choir of propagandists, political trumpets, 'iele', these fairies, shouted for days that there were no votes, that you weren't capable of passing the motion! The roar of the 'iele' was heard until the night before the motion!" Câciu reminded readers that the motion ultimately passed overwhelmingly with 281 votes. "Then, the next day, they were whimpering! 'Iele', who wanted to be fairies, were whining! And the motion passed with 281 votes!" he recalled. He concluded by reiterating his stance: "I say it's worth whining again! And if, by some absurd chance, the Veștea government doesn't pass, let's go to the people! It would be a sign that the violation of democracy and... has ended."

Then, the next day, they were whimpering! 'Iele', who wanted to be fairies, were whining! And the motion passed with 281 votes!
