🚨 ROMANIA'S OPPOSITION LEADER: THE WEST IS REPEATING SOVIET-STYLE CONTROL
@georgesimion just told @trussliz on In The Room that Romania’s dream of joining the free world has turned into a warning about basic freedoms:
“And what my parents and grandparents experienced in the Soviet communist dictatorship, it's repeating now in the West.”

My interview with 🇪🇸@eldebate_com about our motion of no confidence, which sparked the collapse of the anti-national, pro-austerity Bolojan government on May 5 🇷🇴.

🇷🇴Hoy Simion y AUR han conseguido quitar al PM globalista de Rumanía.
Les anularon las elecciones y ahora puede que haya un adelanto electoral o que el propio Georgescu (el candidato que anularon) se convierta en primer ministro.
¡Rumanía ha ganado hoy una batalla contra la UE!
🇷🇴🇪🇺 Romania’s establishment just got exposed… and their globalist scheme is CRUMBLING in Bucharest!
While Brussels and Washington worked behind the scenes to annul the democratic vote, Simion and AUR are exposing the coordinated plot to turn Romania into a managed colony.
Simion is the last line of defense against this administrative coup that puts foreign defense contracts ahead of the Romanian people.
@georgesimion
The Bolojan government has just been ousted by the Romanian Parliament.
An end to ten months during which the so-called pro-Europeans have delivered nothing but: taxes, war, and poverty.
The voice of the 🇷🇴people was heard today.
Time for national reconciliation!
🚨The #AUR Party will submit a motion of censure against the current government, which has ruined the Romanian economy and impoverished the 🇷🇴people.
The sooner this government falls, the better for #Romania.
May God bless our country and its people!
Congrats, Peter Magyar. Glad that you had FairPlay elections — we lack this in 🇷🇴.
For the record: I’ve never danced on your people’s graves, I don’t have Zsolt’s moves.
We both are marathon lads, so a friendly advice:
Keep an 👁️ on taking your country’s money from Ursula!
In #Romania, attacks on freedom of expression and the censorship of anti-establishment voices continue on social media.
Facebook shut down the page of #Gândul, the most-read independent online publication. Just like that. No explanation.
DOWN WITH CENSORSHIP 🛑!

🚨The coup d'état is moving forward:
they’ve just REVOKED #RealitateaTV’s broadcasting license!
Realitatea was the only major TV station in Romania🇷🇴 that gave us a platform to speak.
DOWN WITH CENSORSHIP!!! 🛑
