The boy of “the only politician still loved after 35 years” says he does not accept that his image be used by Simion and Georgescu

In the debate from Euronews, George Simion used a famous expression about Ion Rațiu, to praise Călin Georgescu. Nicolae Rațiu intervened, saying that the father represented the reverse of “falsehood, contempt, bigotism, elitism and misogyny represented by Călin Georgescu and George Simion.”

“Ion Rațiu believed one hundred percent that the place of Romania is in Europe, with NATO protection as a guarantee of its eternal freedom,” said Nicolae Rațiu, in a message posted on Facebook, angry after famous quotes about Ion Rațiu, his father, were used by George Simion. Nicolae Rațiu said that the “phrases were stolen” by the gold candidate. Why did Nicolae Rațiu intervened?

“The best president that Romania did not have” was Ion Rațiu

The golden leader said in the debate on Thursday, from Euronews, two things related to Ion Rațiu, without Cita. First, Simion used a phrase of Ion Rațiu, the one who said, in the moments of great conflict from the early 1990s, that he will fight to the last drop of blood for those who have a different opinion.

Then, Simion said about Călin Georgescu that he is “the best president that Romania did not have.” This is also a famous expression of the 90's, when Ion Rațiu applied, but received only few votes. But Ion Rațiu's speech was always democratic and pro-Western, Nicolae Rațiu, his boy, in Friday's intervention on Facebook.

“Two phrases that invoke my father's image, Ion Rațiu – probably the only politician in the last 35 years who are still respected, admired and loved, still appreciated by many people of all levels and even political inclinations,” said Nicolae Rațiu.

“But these two stolen phrases, used and – in my opinion abused – reflect the faith of George Simion, who labels Calin Georgescu, not my father.”

Ion Rațiu and his inheritance represent principles of honesty, sincerity, dignity, the service brought to the country, faith passionate in the principles of freedom of expression, of the rule of law, freedom, human rights and respect for each person – exactly the opposite of what I see and hear from George Simion and Călin Georgescu – discrimination, falsehood, bigotism, bigotism Personal.

In addition and very important, Ion Rațiu believed one hundred percent that the place of Romania is in Europe, with NATO protection as a guarantee of its eternal freedom.

In my opinion, the one who reflects the same the same principles and beliefs that I described about my father is Mr. Nicușor Dan, in which you can trust, “said Nicolae Rațiu.
