The fourth candidate for the presidency of Romania who appeared on Wednesday evening at the debate on Antena 3 failed to convince the journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu very strongly. To his surprise, the questions from the journalists were more incisive than in the case of Mircea Geoană.
“Answered acceptable, good, very good, false or irrelevant. In my opinion, he was not able to convince with the answers to 4 questions:
– what is he basing his claim that there is a “troll farm” that is influencing the current election through misinformation on the internet? He replied that he did not receive such information from state institutions, but “from politics”. And that they are now waiting for the results of the checks made by the relevant institutions. Well, wouldn’t it have been more responsible behavior to notify the authorities first and speak publicly after the checks are over? Everyone understood that it was a campaign blow, if Mrs. Lasconi created the occasion;
– said that he waited for the agreement given by Ciucă two days ago that he will declassify everything legal about Iohannis’ presidential expenses, if he becomes president. Mr. Ciolacu-Normalu, as prime minister in office, did not need any agreement from Mr. Ciucă to order the investigation of the RAPPS investments in the Aviatorilor mansion;
– to the question regarding his revolutionary activity in December 1989 in Buzău, he simply lied – look on YouTube for Anca Simina’s Recorder investigation on this topic and you will see why;
– finally, the way he justified the inclusion on the parliamentary lists of V. Ponta (strategically absent from the room) and C. Piedone, after requesting a moment of silence for the dead from the Collective, was as repulsive as Ciucă” reporting’ outside the question.
Ciolacu as Ciolacu. But at one point I had the vision of the entire hall… First the figures of Tudose, Grindeanu, Paul Stănescu, G. Firea, O. Vasilescu and his consort Manda, Neacșu, Daea, then all those faces that have in common something pasty them, merging into a large framed portrait of the immortal PSD…, which won as a party all the parliamentary elections from 1990 until now, will win these too and will continue to win even after I I will no longer be…”, commented Cristian Tudor Popescu on his Facebook page.
