Romania’s far-right presidential candidate Calin Georgescu was taken for questioning by police as part of an investigation into his campaign.
The opposition far-right party AUR, which backs Georgescu in the presidential race announced that it will stage a protest outside the prosecutors’ office. Romania’s prosecutors are also investigating some of Georgescu’s allies and bodyguards.
Georgescu declined to comment when asked by the media about the questioning or any accusations against him.
The gesture is very vague and that’s the point. You’re burning energy while his supporters can now say you’re seeing nazis everywhere. Better focus on real issues like growing inequality because ultimately that’s the reason you’re facing fascists at all.
You don’t get to reduce inequality with fascists in power.
Fascists are a symptom and not the cause. If you’re suspending democracy you better do it for the good of the people and not the rich, otherwise you’re only delaying the inevitable. So far it looks like it was done so that things could stay the same and people already said „no” to this.
