Bucharest City Hall rejected authorization for the protest scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, in the Izvor Park area, following reports from the Capital Police and Gendarmerie regarding risks to public order and safety. According to the reasoning, although AUR MEP Gheorghe Piperea claimed that the demonstration would gather approximately 50 people, the authorities indicated the mobilization of coaches from 39 counties and also mentioned aggressive messages and calls to use bladed weapons and block communication routes that had appeared online.
Another reason cited was that the Romania–Poland match would take place on the same day, with expectations of around 35,000 supporters in the central area, which could increase the risk of incidents. PMB also cited legal provisions concerning incitement to violence and disturbance of public order, as well as references to incidents at previous protests in which the number of participants and the agreed conditions allegedly had been exceeded.
At the same time, AUR promoted the event and claimed that it was not the official organizer, saying that the protest would be managed by two private individuals. Meanwhile, spokesperson Cristina Dumitrescu stated that the authorization had allegedly been withdrawn afterward by the Capital’s mayor, Ciprian Ciucu, while Nicușor Dan declared that there had been insufficient “correspondence” between the figures in the official application and the mobilization announced on social media.
