George Simion's comparison caused tensions in the French television studio, where the candidate for presidential elections was on Thursday night.
After accusing the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, of “dictatorial tendencies”, George Simion compared France to Iran.
“We are not Iran, we are not a country where some Ayatollahi say who can apply and who does not. It is exactly your case in France, where Marine Le Pen has actually forbidden by some judges.
The moderator of the show reacted: “I would like to tell you that France is a democracy that has no dictatorial tendencies. If you already call your dictator counterpart, this is” promising “for Romania's relations with France.”
“Go too far, we cannot compare France with Iran, I guarantee you. I don't think that after these statements you will have received too quickly at the Elysee Palace,” the French journalist warned.
“I don't need to be received at the Elysee Palace,” George Simion replied.
“I respect the French people and culture, but I do not respect the dictatorial tendency, I do not respect the intervention of Emmanuel Macron in our democracy,” he said.
