Mihai Lasca, the leader of the formation of the patriots of the Romanian people and a controversial character on the Romanian political scene, announced on Wednesday, on social networks, that he will run for the elections of May 4 for the position of president of the Bihor County Council.

“On May 4, 2025 I will run for the presidency of the Bihor County Council against the PNL-UDMR-PSD-USR Alliance! Dear Bihoreni, on the 4th you have the opportunity to punish by vote the alliance of the treacherous parties who abused you, forced you, have fined you and closed you in the houses, on the order of the globalists! “Lasca wrote on Facebook, launching harsh accusations against interim president Ilie Bolojan.

It is not Mihai Lasca's first attempt to obtain this function, he also applied in June 2024, but he obtained only 0.61% of the votes.

Lasca claims to enter the competition “against the clan led by anti-Romanian Bolojan”, Referring to the current leadership of the county. We remind that Bolojan gave up the second term at the head of the County Council for a place in the Senate of Romania, leaving room for new elections in Bihor.

„ÎIn Oradea «lui Bolojan» the parking time costs more than in Paris! It is a small detail but with which the Bihorians face every day. I will come back with even more important topics!”He wrote in another post, accusing the local administration of carelessness towards the citizens.

Promise to move the statue of Mihai Viteazul back to the center of the city

Also on Wednesday, Lasca posted a video near Mihai Viteazul's statue, demanding that it be moved back to Unirii Square. It claims that the statue “It was demolished in 2019 at the order of Bolojan” and reclaimed in the Civic Center, claiming that “The real reason for removing it from the center of the city is precisely to be hidden from the eyes of the villagers and tourists ”, he said, although the decision regarding the location of the monuments does not belong to the County Council, but to the local administration.

Mihai Lasca's campaign continues in the same provocative style, relying on people's dissatisfaction and promises of “Fighting against the system”.

Legal issues and controversial past

Mihai Lasca has over the years, in several occasions, problems with the law, although on social networks it is presented as having an “integral” record, being convicted of complicity in deceiving a German driver, but also because he beat a driver in traffic.

Also, in December 2020, Mihai Lasca was convicted for complicity in deception, following the involvement in a case where a German citizen was deceived.

In 2016, Mihai Lasca was sent to court by DIICOT Oradea, being accused of setting up an organized criminal group involved in the falsification of electronic payment instruments. In July 2023, the High Court of Cassation and Justice had paid, finding that the deed is not provided by the criminal law.

Former gold deputy between 2020 and 2024, Lasca was excluded from the party in 2021 after colleagues learned that he was involved in criminal cases. “Mihai Lasca failed to present to the party's management the fact that he is being prosecuted for organizing the criminal group and is criminally convicted for bodily injury. His past of criminal nature and insincere behavior in relation to party colleagues make Mr. Lasca incompatible with the principles and values ​​of gold”, The gold representatives said then.

After his exclusion, Lasca founded his own party, with a strong nationalist and anti-system speech. Its campaign focuses on conspiracy and populist themes, with references to “Globalists“And”treacherous parties ”.
