George Simion, from the protester, to the presidential

During an interview for Hotnews, the MEP gold Gheorghe Piperea appreciated that George Simion's performance in the Euronews debate has shown the progress that the gold leader has lately made, being one worthy of a state man.

According to him, the Golden candidate for the presidency showed calm and self -control, despite the hostile questions and provocative reactions of his counter -candidate, Nicușor Dan, of whom Ghoerghe Piperea believes he was “coconrated”, which does not help him nor the Romanians.

Also, the MEP wanted to emphasize that there is a notable difference between Simion the protester and Simion the presidential, adding, however, that the gold leader should have refined his political message earlier, not on the last hundred meters.

“What should Simion had to do better? From my perspective, they should have had a firm position from the point of view of the candidacy, from the moment when it was seen what happened in the November 24 elections.

To say a month or two earlier that he is going to apply, because in this way they would not have been those precipitations of events that led to the candidacy he submitted. He is not criticizing the candidacy, because he was the most entitled gold man to participate.

Of course he could also rush to chisel the message. This issue is done step by step, gradually. There is a big difference between George Simion the protester and George Simion the presidential ”,, said Gheorghe Piperea.

Forte decks in debate for George Simion

Piperea points to three aspects that, in his opinion, benefited George Simion in front of Nicușor Dan:

– Clarity and consistency of answers: “Simion offered well -argued answers, while Nicușor Dan responded in clichés and without nuances.”

– Transparency in front of direct questions: “Simion responded concretely when he was asked for data and figures. Dan avoided providing information, invoking confidentiality.”

– pressure resistance: “Despite the obvious hostility of the questions, Simion remained calm and worthy. It was a resistance test that he faced as a potential president.”

“I think there are three things that differentiated George Simion by Nicuşor Dan. First, George Simion gave elaborate, concrete answers, to the object every time he was asked. Including the categorically oriented and hostile questions. While Mr. Nicușor Dan gave cliché answers and some of them. Belicos, as I say ”, said Gheorghe Piperea.

Weak points for Nicuşor Dan

As for Nicuşor Dan, the MEP says that he is “toxic” and “inappropriate for the position of president”, although he recognizes his merits from the past.

“He won the Capital City Hall alone and has a solid career in NGOs. But it turned into a rigid and isolated character,” he says.

Reproaches, among other things, that:

– Although it supports “unreserved” Ukraine in conflict with Russia, it is extremely evasive in a context in which “including the EU begins to adopt a more nuanced position”;

“When asked if Ukraine would be helped until the end of Romania in this endless war with Russia, he said” yes, categorically, not, of course, further. “ says the MEP.

– avoids doing the donors of the campaign, although the electoral law does not allow their anonymity if the donations exceed 50 euros;

“When concrete questions were asked, with requests for names, data, concrete figures, Mr. Simion gave them. While Mr. Nicușor Dan used formulas such as” you will find these things from the authorities “or” these issues are public, they can be known. ” in value.Gheorghe Pipera pointed out.

– misleads when he asserts that he had removed the City Hall out of insolvency (“False information, as it only rolled the debts of the institution”);

“The fact that he boasts that he had removed the City Hall from insolvency is a great false news. There is nothing real. The only thing he did was to roll some of the historical debts. He also lied about a lot of things he would have done for the centralized heating system in Bucharest. Termoenergetica. he said.

– declares publicly that the prosecutors will influence, which is absolutely forbidden.

“For example, an extraordinarily serious statement about the influence of justice. I would have wanted to see what Mr. Nicușor wanted to say. He took his mouth beforehand, did not realize that he was making a big joke?

In no way is it allowed, for example, to condition them to influence those chiefs of prosecutors, after named it. In no way is it allowed to go to the SCM and influence those there.

What he can do is try to mediate between state and society, listening to dissatisfaction from the population in relation to corruption, for example. He can also go to the government and tell them that there is something wrong from the perspective of the population ”, said the MEP gold.

Regarding the fact that George Simion said he wants to appoint him as governor of the Romanian Bank, instead of Mugur Isarescu, MEP Gheorghe Piperea says he does not consider such a function.

“The issue with the NBR, although it is absolutely honorable to me and although I could deal with, for the time being. There is at the moment an eternal governor of the National Bank, Mr. Isarescu, who is at least 3 years old, if I calculated well, from the mandate. explained Gheorghe Pipera
