Călin Georgescu, a former presidential candidate, intensified his criticism of Nicușor Dan and an anticipated report on the annulment of the 2024 presidential elections. Georgescu, speaking during a campaign visit to Pâncota, Arad County, characterized the report as an "administrative villainy" designed to "legally sanitize an ordinary coup d'état."

During his visit to the market in Pâncota, Georgescu also reiterated his electoral program, "Water, Food, Energy." He emphasized the importance of water management, stating that mismanagement leads to reliance on expensive foreign food products and harms the national economy. He argued that the country must manage its water resources effectively, rather than succumbing to drought.

Georgescu's strong remarks about the report, which has not yet been published, suggest a deep distrust of the political establishment. He referred to the report as "security alchemy when theft becomes state doctrine" and a "simulacrum of justification born from the biological fear of those who hold power illegitimately today." He asserted that such maneuvers are insignificant against the "greatness of the Romanian people" and their refusal to accept "ordinary theft."

The former candidate's tour, described as an "electoral pilgrimage," combines religious messages with political discourse. He visited Mănăstirea Prislop in Hunedoara County on Sunday to pay respects at the grave of Arsenie Boca, a revered religious figure. Georgescu's public appearances aim to connect with voters in markets and fairs across the country.

Noi trebuie să administrăm apa, nu seceta. Cine își bate joc de apă își bate joc de energie și de agricultură. Și atunci oamenii ajung să cumpere produse și alimente din străinătate la prețuri foarte mari, iar economia moare pentru că se consumă ce produc alții.
