Dozens of supporters of Diana Soșoacă are currently at the General Prosecutor's Office, where the SOS leader was summoned for hearings.

This is after the General Prosecutor's Office launched the criminal action against the MEP for 11 crimes, including: deprivation of liberty, anti-Semitism, promotion of the legionary cult and people convicted of genocide and outrage.

Diana Ioanovici Șoșoacă says that the prosecutors asked for her consent to perform a forensic psychiatric examination.

“According to the communicated documents, outrageous facts related to statements made in the public space, including on historical, political and national interest topics, are invoked, and at the same time I am requested to express my consent for the performance of a medico-legal psychiatric examination, regarding the statements and political opinions, a procedure that I consider extremely serious and deeply abusive, Bolshevik and fascist“, Sosoacă said in a statement.
