Virgil Popescu, former Minister of Energy, reacted on Facebook after the leader of AUR, George Simion, requested protection from the Service for Protection and Guard (SPP) for himself and his family. Popescu reminded Simion of past aggressions, including the incident in Parliament in February 2022, when Simion physically assaulted him, and the scandal at the Vienna airport. He emphasized that Simion has cultivated tension and hatred, and now behaves like a victim. Popescu criticized the request for protection, stating that Romania does not need politicians who turn aggression into a spectacle. Simion requested SPP protection citing the vandalization of the AUR headquarters and the death threats he received. The tense relationship between the two has been marked by several incidents, culminating in the altercation in Parliament.
