Crin Antonescu: "A large part of the vote for Călin Georgescu, later transferred to George Simion, came from the desire to have more personality in foreign policy. We have a small area of activity, in the vicinity of Chișinău — physically — and Kiev — spiritually — and that's about it."

Former PNL leader, Crin Antonescu, commented on the current political situation, criticizing the tendency to exclude AUR from the electoral equation. He states that as long as AUR is not declared illegal, it must be considered a legitimate option. Antonescu emphasizes that excluding this party limits the electorate's choices, leaving them only with PNL and PSD, which do not enjoy popularity. He also warns that the vote for Călin Georgescu, later transferred to George Simion, reflects the desire of Romanians for a stronger foreign policy.
