Former prime minister Marcel Ciolacu confirmed for Digi24 that he is no longer marrying his partner, Sorina Docuz, this month. The reaction comes after G4 Media wrote that the wedding was canceled following criticism of the expensive outfits worn by PSD leaders and their partners at the christening of Alfred Simonis’ son.
“We remain committed together, according to the presidential model,” Ciolacu, currently president of CJ Buzău, told Digi24.
The images from the baptism that took place at the end of last week in Timișoara caused a real scandal and intense debates on social networks, because the austerity invoked so often by the social democratic leaders was forgotten at the luxurious party, which brought together in Timișoara heavy names from the party.
The partners of the Social Democrats attracted attention with their extravagant outfits, purses worth thousands of euros and fur coats.
One of the main controversies was related to the fur stole worn by Sorina Docuz. The press estimated its cost at 10,000-15,000 euros, but Ciolacu stated that it was bought in Istanbul for 500 euros.
Another subject which aroused curiosity was the baptismal gift for the third son of Simonis. His wealth declarations show that, at the two previous baptisms, he declared gifts of approximately €35,000 and €89,000 respectively.
