Designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan condemns Călin Georgescu as pro-Russian, anti-European

Designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan criticized Călin Georgescu, labeling him a pro-Russian, anti-European figure, and called for swift legal action after DIICOT detained him.

In an interview, designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan emphasized that legal violations require immediate and clear sanctions, citing widespread skepticism toward the courts. He referred to Călin Georgescu, recently detained by DIICOT, as a pro-Russian, anti-European actor who promotes chaos rather than order. Mureșan rejected any call for sympathy toward Georgescu, stating he is a political figure to be avoided.

He argued that Georgescu’s backers are a minority, some possibly pro-Russian or anti-European, but not dominant. The minister suggested that many supporters were drawn by dissatisfaction with previous governments and misinformation on social platforms. He concluded by advising the public to spend less time on social media and avoid following Georgescu on TikTok.
