AUR President George Simion called on Sunday for a swift investigation and evidence in the case of the incident reported by Marius Lulea, the party’s co-founder. Lulea notified the police after finding a pig’s head in front of his home and a poster bearing a threatening message attached to the gas meter.

According to Marius Lulea, similar stickers were allegedly placed in front of the homes of people who publicly oppose George Simion. The police are to establish the circumstances of the incident and any potential responsibility.

In a Facebook post, the AUR leader criticized what he called the intensification of attacks and accusations against him, stating that the issue was being used at an important political moment. Simion claimed that his party would not vote for the government proposed by Luca Niculescu and that it would not “distance itself” from Călin Georgescu.

“I hope the state will do its duty in Marius Lulea’s case,” George Simion said, calling for investigations and evidence, “not televised verdicts.” Until the checks are completed, there is no official information regarding the perpetrators or the motive behind the incident.

Context: AUR and its leaders are facing a climate of internal tensions and political accusations, while the case of Marius Lulea has already been contested within the party

Before the incident reported by Marius Lulea, the dispute within AUR was fueled by controversies regarding his status and position within the organization. Lulea contested the expulsion, which was said to have been prompted by non-payment of membership dues, presenting bank documents that he claims would prove it, while the party leadership maintained the explanation related to membership dues.

At the same time, George Simion issued criticism and spoke about pressure on the party, announcing that AUR would not vote for a proposed government, while reaffirming his support for Călin Georgescu. At the same time, Simion rejected allegations regarding the involvement of AUR members in incidents during protests, calling for any such matter to be investigated criminally.

At the same time, signals of broader tensions within the party also emerged in the public sphere, including criticism from Lulea directed at Simion and calls for AUR to change the direction of its discourse. In this context, the AUR leader continued to convey harsh political messages and accuse opponents of “attacks” and “accusations” against him.
