“How did an unasseted document come to the public space? Who is the first question. Is the same question. The same AEP accused me of money laundering in 2016. In 2022 years came and said they are in conflict of interest and so on. I think someone from these institutions has to answer“, Said the candidate on Thursday night, at Antena 3.
Also, Nicușor Dan stressed that AEP needs “a deep reform”.
“I explained at the beginning very simple what it is, things are very, very simple. We cannot see how the AEP was very biased in this campaign (…) He put down posts, some gave them, some no. Failed to take down the unassuming (…) caution with AEP and there is a need for a deep reform”, Said Nicușor Dan.
On Thursday, the AEP notified the DNA about Nicușor Dan’s campaign. According to the report in the possession of G4Media, AEP accuses Nicușor Dan of not correctly managed the donations received during the pre -scam period.
The AEP also noticed the General Prosecutor’s Office, after finding several irregularities in the way Nicușor Dan managed his campaign, writes Hotnews.
Following the AEP checks from April 4-24, it was found that the mayor obtained donations worth over 3 million lei, the equivalent of over 650,000 euros, which he did not declare. The AEP control report has been sent to the General Prosecutor’s Office.
It was also found that Nicușor Dan used the service car of the City Hall for electoral movements, on April 11, a thing forbidden by law.
The independent candidate acknowledged this last fault in a press conference on April 16.
Subsequently, Nicușor Dan’s campaign team transmitted that the document obtained from the AEP “It seems to be a draft of an internal working document, based on subjective and devoid of foundation.”
“We were not communicated to such a document assumed by the Permanent Electoral Authority. The information published in the press seems to be a draft of an internal working document of the AEP, based on subjective and devoid of foundation.
The donation platform was opened during the period of electoral precapania. The amount collected by donations during the period of electoral precapania was used to cover the expenses incurred during that period.
The amount collected during the election campaign period will be transferred to the campaign account. According to the law, the transfer can be done until the end of the election campaign.
It’s not the first time in this campaign when AEP has a biased attitude. There is a suspicion that this unsigned document has been drained in the press for the purpose of defamation of the candidate Nicușor Dan”, Explained the campaign team of the independent candidate.
