AUR co-founder Marius Lulea files police complaint after pig's head left at his door
Marius Lulea reported to police that unknown individuals placed a pig's head and a threatening sticker in front of his house.
Marius Lulea, a co-founder of the AUR party, filed a police report on Sunday morning after finding a pig's head—a traditional symbol of treason—left by unknown persons at his front door, along with a threatening sticker affixed to his gas meter console. The same type of sticker has been spotted on several homes, vehicles and even a public toilet in the Tunari area, known as an AUR stronghold. Lulea has repeatedly criticized party leader George Simion for steering the party toward anti-EU and pro-Russia policies.
In response, Simion alleged that Lulea was expelled for failing to pay party dues, a claim Lulea refuted by releasing receipts showing the dues were paid. Lulea also noted that he previously employed Simion at his construction firm. Photos of the scene were provided by one outlet.
