Calin Georgescu, the candidate supported by the gold and can in the presidential race, maintains his electorate through a communication strategy based on short phrases that cannot be fought, shows the experts consulted by Adevărul. It has an old style that involves control to the comma.

Calin Georgescu has become accustomed to the Romanians with a lack of answers to questions and a type of communication based on speech, both in the interviews they give and in the lives transmitted on social networks with his wife, who plays the role of the moderator.
At the same time, the candidate supported by the gold and can in the presidential elections surprised by a series of appearances in certain interviews for the foreign press. He did not speak with perfect English, but there were times when he argued outside the borders that he had not yet deepened.
“Golden age” and “messianic”
Dumitru Borțun, specialist in public communication, explained for “Adevărul” that Georgescu has a type of “symbolic thinking”, easy to understand, reaching the public with intuition and some ideas over the years. “It has short phrases, as it is worn today, on Tiktok, on Instagram, it has tendencies like” we hold the people. ” You can’t fight it. Or “water is from God”, “God is not taxed.” They are axioms. And it’s short. Three words enter the country: “food, water, energy”. Point. He strengthens himself, he gives his right alone. (…) makes the one who listens to give him justice. It is incredibly efficient here, by the end, “, Dumitru Borțun explained.
According to the expert, Călin Georgescu “It appeals to two myths that are ancient and long. The myth of the golden age and the messianic myth. The myth of the golden age is that we once had a better life, a golden age, which we could return. And the messianic is the myth of the Savior. A providential man who saves us is coming. As Trump also says. What did he say last night? That “I did not die of that bullet because God has avoided me, so I can save America.” And the whole room began to scream. So this is the messianic myth. And, unfortunately, they propose a return to a past that can only lead to disaster. As Khomeini did (no – Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian revolution in 1979) in Iran (…) and made this country dust, which was a splendid, with economic, civilized power ”.
“I live in the past, I live in a legendary universe, reality reality. Reality is nothing good, so it must be rejected. And we are rooting from reality. How? In an imaginary world. With the free Dacians, with the Legionary Movement, with Ceausescu, as much as it was before. I propose an antidemocratic regime, because you do not be satisfied with the current democracy. It is a popular metaphor: do not throw with the water from the tree and the child. They throw the child too. They return to undemocratic regimes ”, explained Dumitru Borțun, emphasizing that in the case of young people, these themes catch because they compare their current financial situation with the parents’ reports, who talk about houses and insured jobs.
Why avoids the Romanian press questions and goes to interviews abroad
“Avoid questions because journalists ask logical questions. And should answer with arguments. If he answers a question, the journalist asks what is based. And he doesn’t know what to say. It doesn’t go to talk to a short sentence journalist. (…) And it is very important to speak in English. So that he can be caught, so he can be distributed. (…) A comparison is made. “Look, he knows English.” And on the other hand, it is heard ””explained Dumitru Borțun, showing the candidate’s preference for the interviews where he is admired.
The former presidential counselor Adriana Săftoiu stressed that Georgescu “It only goes in controlled environments ”.
“He does not think of his strategy through a communication like this: I go out in front of the press, I accept the questions, I answer questions. He even in the shows in which he goes, or in podcasts, goes where, as much as, is the controlled environment. I know he was in a discussion, at one point, interrupted by the moderator and said “I did not come here to stop me.” So he follows his strategy. That’s his strategy. I don’t answer the questions, I tell you my text. My text, which is not based on reason, does not appeal to my reason. He warned us: it’s not good with reason. If the mind appears, everything is over. He’s on emotion. And as we should recognize, a lot of negative emotion has been gathered in the population dissatisfied with the political class and so on. It speculates this very well ”, explained Adriana Săftoiu.
Also, according to the former presidential counseling, “”These interviews he offers to journalists, they chosen on the stranger, have an interior effect. The effect is to his audience who says “Look, Georgescu, which I admire, I support, I vote, he is also interviewed on the foreign press.” This has this thing here. You say “he is in place and looks like the foreign press, so it’s valuable.”
According to former presidential adviser Valeriu Turcan, the interviews given to the foreign press also have a second goal. “Choose to give interviews to influencers who have been used in Donald Trump’s campaign, both to suggest that he has entrance to Trump and to generate solidarity messages from some Trump administration members. It is based on the fact that they will not start to check the truth, people read and go further. Is essentially a trusted fraud, a fool”, Explained Valeriu Turcan.
Communication with approval
At the same time, the former presidential adviser is of the opinion that Georgescu “has an old school of communist propaganda”. “He issues sentences, virtues and conspiracies, which he never argues. It also runs away from any debate and avoids dialogue. When it is contradicted, it attacks. Or simply deny that they would have said things that are easily proven. It has an old school, of communist propaganda. All his communication is controlled, which is why I said that it comes from an old system, in which even the commas had to be used with approval. It is a communication built in the laboratory, artificial, edited, processed, to limit the questions and to design only a certain image built carefully in the laboratory. If they were to answer the questions it would be immediately seen how artificial the profile is built by so much propaganda. As long as you do not answer questions, you can still hide many things ”, explained Valeriu Turcan.
The former presidential counselor also pointed out that Georgescu is in a vulnerability. “He was going aimed to ask for money from people with a lot of money“, And the amounts were requested by cash also pointed out the former presidential counselor.
Calin Georgescu is expected to apply as soon as possible to allow the gold sovereigns to come up with a possible spare plan if his candidacy will be invalidated to the RCC, a scenario often in the public space.
