Daniel Băluță claims that he was poisoned with arsenic and mercury: “It's not an assumption, it's a certainty”

Daniel Băluță spoke Monday evening, on Digi24, about arsenic and mercury poisoning. The mayor of District 4 claimed that he did not want to do this publicly in the election campaign, reasoning that he did not want to be seen as “an individual who wants to victimize himself”.

“I am an extremely rational person, I am not a person who complains and until I have certainty, I could never make such an approach. I am still analyzing the last period of time and I am convinced that one way or another I will reach a result. But it is not natural to take measures until you are sure of something”, declared the mayor.

The mayor of Sector 4 claims, however, that he is now talking about his intoxication to “notify those who had the intentions they had”.

Asked if the person who poisoned him with arsenic and mercury could be a politician, Băluță categorically ruled out this option and stated that he already had an “assumption”.

“No, no, no, and I said this (not that he couldn't have been poisoned by someone from politics). In no case do we live in such a state. That's why I didn't even talk about such a thing during the election campaign, because I never wanted in this life for people to perceive me as an individual who wants to victimize himself,” said Daniel Băluță.

He sent “a wake-up call and a wake-up call for other people as well, to be careful with things going on around them, because trouble can come from where you don't expect it.”

“It's not about an alleged intoxication”

The revelation about the intoxication brought attention to Gabriela Firea's statements from 2019, when she held the position of general mayor of the Capital. At that time, Firea went through an operation, because doctors found a four-centimeter piece of wire in his colon.

Asked if he sees a connection, Daniel Băluță replied: “This matter is a pure coincidence. No, there is no connection.”

“The only thing I can tell you for sure is that it's not an alleged intoxication. The medical tests do nothing but confirm a reality. It's a reality, not an assumption, it's a certainty. Someone did me harm, really harmed me. It's true that this harm is also gradual, but, unfortunately, there are long-term effects that neither you nor I can anticipate,” said the district mayor.

He added that he would provide more information when he had it. Also then he will make a complaint to the police: “It seems natural to me to provide more information and when I have more information to be able to provide it to the police. Until then it's just simple presumptions and it's not normal to accuse someone without evidence.”

Baluță also explained that “you can never say with certainty when it happened, how it happened, at what time it happened, and some of them cannot be detected in time”.
