George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), has called on his party's supporters to engage with voters who supported Mayor Nicușor Dan. Simion wants them to ask these voters if they are satisfied with their choice, suggesting a campaign to sow doubt among Dan's electorate.
Ask all those you knew were Nicușor Dan voters: are they satisfied with their choice?
Simion, who frequently criticizes the current political establishment, also claimed that Romania has been "led to poverty" under the leadership of Nicușor Dan and President Klaus Iohannis. He urged his supporters to prevent a "condemnation of the population to poverty" by engaging in dialogue and stopping the "division of Romanians," which he believes benefits only their adversaries.
It is important that after ND, Iohannis and other bad elections, we do not repeat in the future the condemnation of the population to poverty!
In a separate address to the party's youth on Sunday, June 14, Simion also commented on internal disputes within the National Liberal Party (PNL). He asserted that Adrian Veștea's designation as prime minister occurred without consultation of the PNL's statutory structures. Simion accused the party leadership of ignoring its own governing bodies, drawing a parallel to past actions that he suggested undermined democratic processes.
Without anyone from PNL proposing Adrian Veștea and without the statutory bodies being consulted, such decisions are reached.
