In the online environment, there is an intense discussion about the gesture made by Călin Georgescu as soon as he left the General Prosecutor’s Office, where he was decided to put under judicial control until April, for accusations to join a non -election movement and to promote some important figures of the Iron Guard.
This is the moment when Călin Georgescu led to his heart, and then he reached out, the movement being associated with many with the Nazi greeting.
After the images with this moment have gone viral on social networks, more and more people commented on the greeting of Călin Georgescu.
“Shy, but it did!”
“Shy, but it did! Opinion of my Roma supporters of this individual, are you sure? ”, commented on Facebook the Roma Rights activist Ciprian Necula.
“The Nazi greeting of American extremist Elon Musk makes chickens”
Adina Marincea, researchers at the National Institute for the Study of Holocaust in Romania “Elie Wiesel” (Inshr-ew), associated the gesture of Călin Georgescu with the one made by Elon Musk at the investigation of US President Donald Trump.
“The Nazi greeting of American extremist Elon Musk makes chickens. First another extremist Trumpist, Steve Bannon, now Călin Georgescu, even after the legionary arrest. That is why it is not joking with the detail of the fascist manifestations, that they become too easy to do. ”, Adina Marincea wrote on her Facebook account.
“It is the new kind of camping fascist greeting”
“It is the new kind of camping fascist greeting, which Elon Musk and Steve Bannon have already used. It is a transgressive gesture, meant to evoke the fascist greeting without completely assuming ”, He told Hotnews.ro, Florin Țurcanu, professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Bucharest.
“Georgescu makes a Full Sieg Heil as a book, with bracelets
“I find it unreal. We were talking to someone earlier about Georgescu’s gesture and we wondered if it seemed. Then I reviewed the full scene a few times. Georgescu comes out of the prosecutor’s office, hugs with Mrs. Cristela and then descends the stairs. He seems in a hurry to leave, he is doing his hand towards the fans.
Then suddenly he changes his mind. Did anyone tell her from the entourage? Did the idea come to him? Certainly, the man returns from the road, climbs the stairs again and begins to greet the fans. The moment is good to be exploited: the leader seems to have come out of the system claws, defeated again. And this is the moment when Georgescu makes a full sieg Heil (no Nazi greeting), as in the book, with a brace, directly from the steps of the Prosecutor’s Office, Elon Musk Style. I looked ten times, there is no doubt.
Did a sign to Musk? Simply came out of enthusiasm? Is it crazy to do this right in front of the institution that just accused of setting up a legionary organization? Neither did Zamolxe answer ”, He wrote on the Facebook page and Mădălin Hodor, the historian and vice -president of the College of the National Council for the Study of Security Archives.
“It is not a Nazi greeting, but a legionary greeting”
“I see that the greeting made by Călin Georgescu is discussed at the exit from the hearings. It is not a Nazi greeting, but a legionary greeting. Executed as a book: the hand on the heart, then the raised arm, normally accompanied by the formula “live the legion and the captain”. Gesture calculated or psychotic decompensation? ”, Writes the Romanian diplomat Theodor Paleologu.
“At the exit, Călin Georgescu welcomed” Heil “
“Georgescu was heard for several hours, after which he was released under judicial control, with several charges. At the exit, Călin Georgescu welcomed the people gathered in front of the building with the “Heil” greeting seen at Elon Musk and Steve Bannon.
Musk and Bannon live in the United States. Georgescu is a Romanian citizen and is currently living in Romania. The public display of the fascist greeting is outside the law.
CNCD and the Wiesel Institute, do you hear? Did you self-identify? If not, I notice you here!
«By fascist, legionary, racist or xenophobic symbols it is meant: flags, emblems, insignia, uniforms, slogans, greeting formulas, as well as any other such signs, which promote the ideas, conceptions or doctrines provided in letter. a); »”, also says the Romanian political scientist of Jewish origin Vsadimir Tismăneanu.
“I do not know if Georgescu intended to do the fascist greeting”
“I also saw the gesture made by Călin Georgescu at the exit from the General Prosecutor’s Office. My first thought, when I saw the hand from the chest, was that our man seems to repeat the gesture made by Elon Musk as he held a speech in front of a crowd. And that it is possible to be accused of doing a fascist greeting, as was Musk.
I do not know if Georgescu intended to do the fascist greeting or rather he wanted to show his supporters that he has his heart and greets them, a gesture frequently in the populists.
Most important I find the numerous statements made by this character, in various speeches, interviews, dialogues in which he apologized to a totalitarian, fascist political movement, I refer to the “Archangel Mihail” Legion. Also, in glorified the leader of the Legion, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, as well as Ion Antonescu, the military dictator of Romania in World War II. Like other political leaders in the area of the extreme right, the suitor in the presidential armchair does not endeavor to use freedom of expression to attack the foundations of the Romanian democratic state, cultivating nostalgia not only after fascism, but also by national-communism ”, He transmitted, for Hotnews.ro, the Romanian historian Dorin Dobrincu.
