Crin Antonescu questions the preventive detention of former presidential hopeful Călin Georgescu

On the Marius Tucă Show, former PNL politician Crin Antonescu addressed the recent preventive detention of Călin Georgescu, a former presidential candidate. Antonescu emphasized that, despite his personal dislike of Georgescu's politics, the decision to disqualify him lacks transparency and must be based on proven accusations. He denounced the 30-day arrest as an unjust use of force and urged that any claims of fraud or organized crime be substantiated and presented publicly.

Georgescu is under investigation for allegedly leading an organized criminal group and for repeated serious fraud, charges brought by DIICOT. The Bucharest Court of Appeal has accepted DIICOT's appeal, maintaining the judicial control over Georgescu. Antonescu argued that democratic means, not coercive rulings, should determine Georgescu's political fate.
