In a television intervention, Lasconi compared Nicușor Dan with the former independent candidate for Presidency Călin Georgescu.
“I do not understand the calculation that Nicuşor Dan made, if he has a calculation, and this mirage of the independent resembles the mirage of another independent who wants to save us. Once again, I do not know what he thought about when he decided to run for presidents ”said Elena Lasconi.
His statements have aroused waves not only in civil society, but also in his own party.
Former USR deputy Victor Ilie took the attitude, asking for the resignation of Elena Lasconi.
“If after this performance (from Digi24) he does not resign, or the BN_ does not officially announce that he supports Nicușor Dan, I resign from USR. I could never, absolutely never to look at an interview or full speech with Elena Lasconi. I simply flow from my ears, hearing it. Yes, I supported it, in the absence of something better. Now we have something better. Good bye and good riddance. Le: He said that Nicușor Dan is the same as Călin Georgescu ”the former deputy wrote on Facebook.
And Radu Hossu, one of the USR members, said he is expecting to be excluded from the party after writing that his support for Elena Lasconi is now completing.
“To put equally between Călin Georgescu and any other decent candidate, it means to minimize the danger represented by Georgescu. It means normalizing it. It means to make it almost frequent, especially when you put it on the same level with a man, in this case Nicușor Dan, who fought with the system, that is, the opposite of Georgescu, for many years, being put in the van Because it disturbs the real estate mafia from Bucharest, being spit on the street when they protested against them, assaulted, etc.
Such a discourse relativizes good and evil. There is no good and bad. There is Elena Lasconi, the representative of the good and all the rest are evil equally. Which is a flagrant fake ”, commented on Facebook Radu Hossu.
During the interview, the head of the USR also stated that Nicuşor Dan did not do his job at the Capital City Hall and reproaches him that he could not get a majority for his projects.
“Now you know very well that Nicuşor Dan is an independent mayor at the Capital City Hall and could not negotiate a favorable majority for his projects. Regardless of how many discussions he has in recent months and no matter how much he posed with presidential candidates in last year’s campaign, they all turned his back, except USR and maybe if I’m good to think now, and In my capacity as mayor, he thinks that he will have hard years at the Capital City Hall, precisely because he does not have a favorable majority for his projects and especially that he had a very small, insignificant budgetary allocation. I have obtained a majority here, in the council, which means that I am better off for political calculations ”said Elena Lasconi.
