Donald Trump JR, the eldest son of the president of the United States, comes to Romania on April 28, one week before the first round of the presidential elections.
The visit of Donald Trump's eldest son is part of an Eastern European tour, which includes the capital Prague (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary) Belgrade (Serbia) and Sofia (Bulgaria). He has no meetings scheduled with any Romanian politician, the event he will participate in being a Trump Business Vision 2025).
The arrival of Donald Trump Jr. in Bucharest at the end of April was confirmed by businessman Adrian Thiess, one of the organizers of the event.
According to sources, the media partner of the event is Romania TV, television controlled by Mogul Sebastian Ghiță.
Pîrvulescu: “The visit has obvious electoral significance”
“This visit is not a visit that does not have an obvious electoral significance ”Professor Cristian Pîrvulescu supported for “Adevărul”.
In view of, says the analyst, that “Donald Trump Jr., In September, paid a visit to Romania TV, leaving Belgrade, where he has a real estate business, I think that his presence will be a support for Victor Ponta's campaign. ”
It's just a simple speculation, the teacher said, “But the fact that from Belgrade paid a visit, in September last year, half a day, together with his wife, to Romania TV, obviously, has a significance. ”
In addition, the fact that he had clear positions against the cancellation of the elections, again makes Pîrvulescu believe that “We are talking about a certain relationship with a certain political-economic group in Romania. It is a simple speculation, but … it is very possible to be that way. Or not. It is certain that Mr. Ghiță is located in Belgrade.”
Businessman Sebastian Ghiță, on the other hand – from the statements of the candidate gold, George Simion – would have gone to the United States with Liviu Maior, to campaign for Victor Ponta, the teacher said, adding that “What Mr. George Simion says must be taken under the benefit of inventory ”.
“I don't think Simion will be the beneficiary”
“It's possible. It is a speculation that we actually take under the benefit of inventory. We have no other data than those that were launched in public space, but all these things, all I told you is real: Donald Trump Jr. from Belgrade, where he has a real estate business, came to Bucharest. Then he reacted, I think that before everyone, condemning the annulment of the elections in Romania. Then, when he was, in February, the great meeting of American Conservatives where Simion entered the access card of someone else (Conference of the Political Action of Conservatives – CPAC, from February -NR), the gold leader claimed that there would be Ghiță and Maior, to try to find support for Ponta. “the political scientist said.
All these aspects can lead us to such a conclusion, the teacher said: “So if it comes a week before the first round, it will certainly influence the elections, but I don't think Simion will be the beneficiary.”
“Business people will support an antisystem candidate”
Trump JR will participate in a business event – Trump Business Vision 2025 – and one of the organizers would be businessman Adrian Thiess.
“One of the shadow people who discreetly dealt with Călin Georgescu's campaign, especially in the relationship with people from the Trump administration, is Adrian Thiess, political consultant and event organizer, former counselor of Iliescu in Cotroceni”, Shows g4media.ro.
The same source shows that Thiess would have met in Serbia after the first election round, with Brad Parscale, the former Donald Trump's online campaign consultant. Parscale was expected to arrive in Romania to support Călin Georgescu, but something happened and did not arrive in Bucharest.
“Adrian Thiess had a certain historical connection with certain political groups. Now I do not know if it has this connection or not, but usually businessmen who have links with politics, keep them. I must tell you that there is now a great effervescence among some businessmen who want a change of direction of Romania to have access to resources, because they have not had access to resources. They will concentrate their efforts to support an antisystem candidate”, The teacher said.
“Appeal to the useful vote”
Pîrvulescu also commented on the latest polls that appeared after the one made public by Nicușor Dan, who gave Victor Ponta in second place after George Simion.
“There have been a lot of polls that give Antonescu in the second round with Nicușor Dan or Antonescu with Ponta. As for the polls, things are quite complicated. Atlasintel gave Simion with Nicușor Dan, for example, being the company in which I have the most confidence, which does not mean that it cannot do“, The political scientist detailed.
About the verifield survey, from April 1, which gave a final, Simion – Ponta, Pîrvulescu claimed that “The distance between Ponta and Dan was below 1%, that is, under the margin of error, and the presence hypothesis was 59%. And obviously, the question I asked myself is why 59% and not 60% or not 55% or not 65%? I can suspect that 59% launched the alarm, because it is a useful vote invitation. Vote Nicușor Dan, because it is useful, otherwise we risk waking up that we have a choice between two extremists. “
