The chairman of The Alliance for the Union of Romania (AUR) George Simion, candidate in the presidential elections, declared about Catalin Predoiu, who was appointed interim prime minister by the interim president, Ilie Bolojan, that he is "the most abusive of the ministers".
"I would like to make a few remarks about the way in which the current interim president chooses to mock the will of the Romanians and to place in the position of prime minister the most abusive of ministers, the man who participated in the coup d'état on December 6 against the Romanian people. It is a shame that Mr. Catalin Predoiu occupies, even if only temporarily, until either I or Nicusor Dan take the position of president, the prime minister's chair," Simion said at the opening of the "Romanian-American Business Conference 2025", an event organized in Parliament.
He added that the aforementioned event was planned long before he knew he would be an electoral competitor, the aim being to improve relations between Romania and the United States of America.
"I thought about this event long before I knew that I would be an electoral competitor. This event aims to improve relations between Romania and the United States, relations that have been seriously damaged in recent months due to the attack on democracy in Romania. This event, which is not an electoral one, is one that aims to relaunch the strategic partnership with the United States (...). I am, unfortunately, in this race for the second round of the presidential elections, the only candidate who has relations with the Trump administration and still sees our security strategy as consisting of three pillars - as part of the European Union, as part of the largest and most powerful military alliance in history - NATO, and of our strategic partnership with the United States," Simion conveyed.
In other news, he announced that he is ready to start electoral debates with Nicuşor Dan, his opponent.
"I want to announce that, from this moment on, I am ready to start the electoral debates with my competitor, Nicusor Dan. My campaign team will contact, in the next few minutes, the campaign team of Mr. Nicusor Dan and we hope that tonight, on all television stations, on all social networks, we can be in front of all Romanians, because it is normal for Romanians to hear us, to see what our options are regarding the future of the country, regarding our international alliances. If some confuse me and think that I am afraid or that I am scared, they have not understood who George Simion is and have not seen my path in all these years. I will stand with dignity in front of the Romanians. I would like to honor your invitations, I want to announce to all the media institutions present here that I will honor the publications "You, giving interviews to each of you, regardless of your ideological orientation and regardless of who finances you," Simion concluded.
The event is attended by business people and politicians.
Deputy Prime Minister Catalin Predoiu, Minister of Internal Affairs, was appointed on Tuesday morning to act as interim Prime Minister, after Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu resigned a day ago.
