AUR Demands Charges Dropped: Simion Calls Peșchir a 'Political Prisoner'

Romania's AUR Party Demands Charges Dropped Against Georgescu and Peșchir In a recent live Facebook address, George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), demanded the immediate withdrawal of all charges against Călin Georgescu and Bogdan Peșchir. Simion, in a passionate speech, declared Peșchir a "political prisoner." This statement follows AUR's announcement that they will challenge the election of Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan before the Constitutional Court. Simion's claims highlight what he perceives as inconsistencies within the Romanian justice system. He points to alleged far more serious offenses, involving tens of millions of euros in the current political campaign, that have not resulted in any accountability. "For far more serious offenses and budgets of tens of millions of euros in the current campaign, no one has been held accountable," Simion stated. The video shows Simion speaking directly to the camera, expressing his strong belief in the injustice of the situation. His words carry significant weight, given AUR's growing influence in Romanian politics. This event underscores tensions within the Romanian political landscape and raises questions about fairness and transparency in the legal system. The situation is likely to continue to unfold and will be closely monitored by both domestic and international observers.
