On Tuesday night, in an interview at Digi24, George Simion claimed that Romania was removed from the Visa Waiver program due to the cancellation of the elections on December 6.

“We have contacts with the people in Homeland Security and Department of State responsible for the problem. We have a roadmap in this area and I do not know if to say, because it will sound populist, it will sound unfounded for those who are currently looking at Digi 24, but we will be repressed in the Visa Waiver program and the visas for Romania, once we will be re -demanded,” For Digi 24, quoted by News.ro.

When the attention was noted that in Romania it is a democracy, proof that he can speak freely and can dialogue on television, Simion reacted: “I agree and it is good that we dialogue, even if we have ideas sometimes.”

“What I want to tell you about this aspect, I do not know if you agree or not, is that I have been removed from the Visa Waiver program because in Romania the elections were canceled on December 6. I tell you directly from the source,” added Simion.
