​George Simion’s wedding to Ilinka, which will take place on Saturday in Machuca, Vilca, is a political PR event that has been the focus of the AUR leader lately.

A wedding that attracted attention and caused critical reactions.

Wedding, as in Zeleia Kodryanu? Simion says it’s like Ion Dolanescu’s

Organized as a large popular demonstration with thousands of people expected, it attracted attention also because of its similarity to a similar event organized almost a century ago in Focşani by the leader of the legionnaires, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.

“I think that my wedding is similar to Ion Dolanescu’s wedding, which is a big wedding that takes place in Oltenia. I do not think that these associations (with Zelea Codrianu – no) do not make sense. I was born in 1986, I have nothing to do with movements before birth. These are typical accusations, they have nothing to say about us,” commented George Simion.

The wedding of Corneliu Zelea Codrianu

The wedding of Corneliu Zelea Codrianu was organized in June 1925 as a village celebration.

In “Legionaires” Kodryanu told a story about the wedding day:

• The next morning a horse was brought to me—such was the schedule—and, passing the bride’s house, I set out at the head of the column for Krang.
• On both sides of the road, on one side and on the other, through the trees, children were walking, and along the way I was followed by the godfathers in decorated carriages led by Professor Cuza and General Macridescu, Cristace Solomon, Colonel. Blesu, Colonel Camburianu, Tudoronchescu, Georgica Niculescu, Major Begulescu and others.
• Next came the bride’s chariot with six oxen, decorated with flowers. Then other wedding carriages. A total of 2,300 carriages, carriages and cars loaded with flowers and people in national costumes. I reached 7 km. city, in Krang, and the tail of the column has not yet left Phokshani.
• In Crâng, the wedding took place on a specially prepared stage. From 80 to 100 thousand people were present. After the service, the choir, games and entertainment began. Next came the table lying on the green grass. Everyone brought their own food, and the people of Phocshan also took care of the people who came from other parts. This entire display of national costumes, with which Romanians are full of life and enthusiasm, was captured on video.

Who is Ilinka, George Simion’s wife

Ilincha Muntyan is 24 years old, she graduated from the Faculty of Law. In an interview, the wife of the AUR leader told about the moment when he proposed to her. According to her, George Simion arranged the raffle with the help of a police officer. She was stopped by traffic police officers who have a gift for her from the leader of the AUR.

“It was a unique moment. If it’s from George, it can’t be anything else. We were going to Bacau and the police stopped us and they asked us to give reports. I filmed because I thought something bad was going on and we had to have proof. The policeman says: “Miss Ilinka?”. I say “Yes?”. “Mr. George Simion has a present for you.” And he took out the ring, and then, as you can see, there was great joy,” Ilinka said.

George Simion and Ilinka Munteanu got married on Friday, August 26, in Machuca.

How much does George Simeon’s wedding cost and how many godparents does he have?

George Simion claims he has paid €12,000 so far to organize the wedding, money he says comes from donations or is a gift from his godparents.

George Simion: “We pay best men and friends with money, but we also have a lot of services and products. More than half of them are given to us as wedding gifts by sensitive acquaintances and friends. Everyone gives us what they have at hand. Mr. Jigi Bekali gave us cheese, and shepherds from Polovragi, Vaideeni and Jina rambekuti for bread.”

“There were a lot of people and a lot of companies that wanted to provide food for the event, and from that point of view everything was very well streamlined. There are also donations from close friends, best men, there are 42 best men at the wedding,” George Simion recently told Fanatik.
