AUR leader George Simion has attacked European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ahead of her official visit to Bucharest on Monday. In a message posted on Facebook, Simion repeated anti-EU rhetoric, accused European institutions of having been involved in the annulment of the 2024 presidential election and announced an AUR rally in support of Călin Georgescu.

Simion claimed that Georgescu had “won the presidential election,” but the statement is false. The pro-Russian former candidate won the first round of the 2024 election, whose results were subsequently annulled, but he did not win the presidency.

The AUR leader accused European officials of having contributed to Georgescu’s “imprisonment” and said the protest would take place even though it had not received authorization from Bucharest City Hall. The demonstration is scheduled for November 14, in front of the Palace of Parliament.

George Simion divided his speech between attacks on the European Union and accusations that Romanian authorities were allegedly subordinate to Brussels. He claimed that Romanians who do not share his position were “servants” of the EU and concluded with an explicitly anti-European message.

During her visit to Bucharest, Ursula von der Leyen will meet with President Nicușor Dan. The discussions will cover European defense and security, the situation in the Black Sea region, competitiveness, energy, the European Union’s enlargement, support for the Republic of Moldova and the EU’s future multiannual budget.

Context: AUR îl susține pe Călin Georgescu după arestarea preventivă și mobilizează manifestații în țară și în străinătate

Înainte de atacurile publice legate de UE, George Simion a intensificat apelurile pentru proteste în sprijinul lui Călin Georgescu, după ce acesta a fost arestat preventiv pentru 30 de zile în dosarul DIICOT, în care procurorii l-au acuzat de înșelăciune cu consecințe grave, după ce ar fi indus în eroare un om de afaceri, pentru care ar fi fost vorba de 1,1 milioane de euro.

Liderul AUR a anunțat și mitingul de la Bruxelles din 14 octombrie, în Place du Luxembourg, în fața Parlamentului European, dar și proteste anunțate sau desfășurate în țară (inclusiv la Arestul Central din București și în alte orașe), prezentând acțiunile ca reacție la ceea ce partidul a numit intimidarea opozanților politici și promițând asistență juridică gratuită pentru cei care se consideră vizați de abuzuri.
