Within the PNL National Council, Predoiu said that the former president of the Liberals, Crin Antonescu, has a profile that will guarantee all Romanians the right, European safety and prosperity.
He claimed that this year’s presidential elections have the same stake as in 1992, won at that time by Ion Iliescu.
“These presidential elections are not common, as were the previous ones. These presidential elections will decide the direction that will go to the east or before on the path of Western democracy. These elections from May 2025 have the same stake as the ones from May 1992 then won by Filius Ion Iliescu, with the slogan a president for our peace. It is known what followed. I entered a loop of history. There followed long years, sprinkled with mining, street confrontations and people’s impoverishment, which has been cleared, bent over 10 years”, Said Cătălin Predoiu.
According to him, Călin Georgescu speaks as a “dictator”.
“It took more than 10 years until we managed to return to the right road, enter NATO and then to the European Union. Today, everything that has been working is in this case, everything that has been achieved after our entry into NATO and the EU. The mask under which this work is put into question is the antisystem movement, the system is bad, it must be given to the basket, the classic parties are bad, they must be eliminated. This is about to be explained by our main opponent, a gentleman who traveled freely in the West during the communist regime, when all the Romanian people were arrested at home. What system does, our main opponent, Mr. Călin Georgescu? About the democratic system, of course. (…) He talks about you, all of us in the pile, works on big crowds, collectivist, just like a dictator. He speaks of the system that represented the Romanian people in all these years of economic development“, Said the Liberal.
Predoiu says that Georgescu, whom he calls “expired guru”, Demonizes the democratic system.
“I propose to get out of this defensive and say with great courage what produced the democratic system that this expired guru demonstrates that gives the feeling that it has come out of the spy factories of the 1980s is economic, personal and collective development, however its decreases and imperfections. The democratic system by way hates and slanders Mr. Călin Georgescu produced in Romania the largest network of individual and collective rights and freedoms“, He added,
Predoiu, about Georgescu: “His mere presence in Cotroceni would automatically attract the isolation of the country from the Western world”
He claimed that people should explain the falsity of the messages transmitted by Călin Georgescu.
“He talks about peace, but he is secretly meeting with legionary supporters who subsequently put violence in Romania, violence in the street stopped by the Romanian Police. He speaks of the truth, but hides the unseen face of his career in the 1980s, as well as the sources of his election campaign, which could not be zero cost, to be serious. I have no doubt that he has paid this campaign by posting the future of the country in secret, while declaring in a wolf tone dressed in sheep’s coat that he works for untarrum, he claims that he will not remove the country from the European and Atlantic concept. , we know well that his mere presence in Cotroceni would automatically attract the isolation of the country from the Western world, freeze our cooperation with allies and strategic national security and defense partners. “
The Minister of Internal Affairs believes that the choice of Călin Georgescu as president would isolate Romania.
“The country would be isolated by the mere presence of this gentleman at the forefront, by the mere presence of a candidate who made declarations of admiration towards an aggressor state and his leader. Consequently, such a president will not only be able to negotiate better for Romania as it boasts, but will not be able to negotiate at all because no one in the West will seriously talk to admirers of Putus, nobody in the Western democratic world. He will not want to talk to a character who meets in secret with challengers of public violence and then he has not done it ”said the Liberal.
