Former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu faced mockery at a fair in Călugăreni, Giurgiu county, on Sunday. A passerby sarcastically asked Georgescu to speak in the "old language," referencing a past statement by Georgescu about the Apocalypse.
Can you tell us something in that old language?
Georgescu responded by asking if the man knew what it meant, implying he wouldn't explain if the man didn't understand. This exchange highlights a recurring theme of Georgescu's public discourse, which often involves esoteric interpretations of language and prophecy.
Do you know what that means? If you don't know what it means, I won't tell you.
Meanwhile, MEP Eugen Tomac used the incident to criticize "sovereigntist politicians" for their silence on repeated airspace violations by drones. Tomac pointed out that the lack of a word for "drone" in the "old language" seemed to silence these politicians, contrasting their inaction with the Romanian Army's professional handling of the situation. He accused them of complicity and of only speaking out when attacking partners and European institutions.
Because the word drone does not exist in the 'old language,' the defenders of sovereignty have suddenly fallen silent.
Georgescu had earlier addressed attendees at the fair, emphasizing the importance of respecting small producers and advocating for policies that support them, such as low taxes, timely subsidies, and accessible markets, water, and energy. He also called for processing industry development across the country. This echoes a previous unsuccessful call for a boycott of hypermarkets in favor of local producers.
If Romanian politics were based on Christian values, small producers would not be humiliated, mocked, and even punished, but respected.
