“I thought you wanted to ask me about the future, about what the United Right is doing next. I think it’s from the tabloids and I’d rather… You’ve already heard back from the press secretary. Do you want me to give you another present, help you with something, inform the press? Mr. Vlad Gheorghe failed to pay his dues and was legally suspended from the UDR. According to our charter, after 6 months any member is suspended, the suspended member has no rights, obligations during the period of suspension. If he pays his dues, he is welcome at any event,” said Drula about the fact that MEP Vlada Gheorghe was not accepted at the USR leadership meeting.

He also referred to the statements of Mayor Olena Lasconi during the meeting of the UDR.

“As for Ms. Lasconi, in the debate we had in the section dedicated to the USR event, the USR took certain positions, other colleagues also took positions, as is normal in a democracy. In the party at the end, we had an overwhelming vote of more than 90%, if I am not mistaken, even 95% in favor of this project,” Drula added.

“I think there are serious problems in Romania, we have problems with an economy that has slowed down, with inflation, with a brutal leadership that imposes taxes, these are things for which I feel I have this mandate, not for a while. provided,” he also said.

USR MEP Vlad Gheorghe alleged on Sunday that he was not allowed to attend a meeting of the party’s political committee because he was stopped at the entrance by security guards on the grounds that he was not an “active member”.

He also criticized the party and its president Catalin Drula. “Why do we unite with those against whom we opposed, so that there would be peace?! With that silence, Dan Barna took Viorika Dencile in the second round in 2019 and we picked Johannis again. Thanks to this silence, the USR fell behind the anti-European extremists in the polls. With this silence, Sosoake is more presidential than Drula,” said the MEP.

Also criticized at the meeting was Mayor Elena Lasconi, who initially launched the USR list in the European Parliament, but was withdrawn after claims of voting in the referendum for the traditional family.

According to Digi24, Elena Lasconi, mayor of Kimpulung-Muscel, attacked USR leader Katalin Drula during a meeting of the political formation committee. She said that if the UDR does not gain 20% in this year’s elections, the entire party leadership should resign.

She also told her colleagues that after she was “kicked in the ass” from the list in the European Parliament, she asked for a discussion with the party leadership, for which she had been waiting for 3 months. In addition, Lasconi also criticized USR’s alliance with PMP and Forţa Dreptei.
