Stefan Godey, one of the patrons of the horror shelters, was chosen by Gabriela Firea in October 2018 to go with her on a 6-day delegation to Madrid as a driver, along with Ligia Enake, the then mayor’s adviser and others. Employees of the city hall, shows the investigation conducted Media Research Center and Herald of Bucharest. According to the quoted source, Godey no longer went to the delegation due to medical reasons, but the intention remains. We remind you that Gabriela Firea, at the beginning of the terrible asylum scandal, stated that Godey was never his driver.

According to the mayoral order published by the Center for Media Investigations and the Buletin de Bucharest, Gabriela Firea appointed the following people to represent Bucharest in 2018 in Madrid at the “World Forum on Urban Violence and Education for Coexistence and Peace”: Mayor General Gabriela Firea, Tomnica Michaela Florescu , Deputy Mayor, Ligia Gheorghe (currently Enake) and Radu Preda, Personal Advisors of the Mayor of Firea, Catalina Gushavan, Director General of the General Directorate of Public Services from the Capital City Hall, Simone Popa, Executive Director of the Environment Directorate, Manuela Dediu, Director of the Press Directorate , Ciprian Codrin Prisekaru, clerk of the Administrative Directorate, Oana Miku, specialist inspector of the Directorate of External Relations and Protocol and Stefan Godey, driver.

The City Hall paid 20,432.12 lei for plane tickets, 29,446.96 lei for the delegation’s accommodation in a hotel, 1,760 euros per day and 270 lei for medical insurance.

In the above table of expenses, Godey’s name no longer appears among the members of the Madrid delegation. And in the report on the results of the visit, Godea’s name seems to have been removed from the list of delegates.

Manuela Dediu, who still heads the press service of the City Hall and is part of the delegation, confirmed that she traveled to Madrid with Firea and the rest of the City Hall leadership, Godey was indeed on the list for Madrid, he even had a plane ticket taken at the expense municipality, but two days before the departure, on November 2, he should have given a statement announcing that he would no longer go on this trip, citing “personal medical reasons”, which would appear on the same day, November 2, according to the cited source.

On Monday, at the meeting of the National Political Council, PSD leaders noted that Gabriela Firea’s self-exclusion from all posts in the party had expired. In other words, Firea has been politically rehabilitated within the party and returns to the post of president of PSD Bucharest and member of the party’s leadership forum as first vice president.

In fact, PSD president Marcel Choalcu recently said that Gabriela Firea could run for mayor of the capital, noting that the party has not yet decided on another candidate and that the discussion is premature.

“You can Ms. Fiera (candidate for the capital city hall – no). At the moment, there is no other decision in the party to be another candidate. Filming is done, measurements are taken. Let’s be honest: Gabriela Firea had nothing to do with the Asylum of Horrors. So, it had nothing to do with the horror shelters,” Çolaku said, according to Agerpres.

It will be recalled that in July Gabriela Firea suspended herself from all positions in the party and resigned from the position of Minister of the Family after the scandal with the “horror asylums”.

After public pressure over an employee’s involvement in the Voluntari shelter scandal, Fiera announced her resignation in a lengthy message posted on Facebook in which she said she was “completely innocent” while continuing to claim she was a victim and that there was a “total war , to destroy” him “and less to find out the truth”: “There was only one interest: to pour as much dirt on me as possible, as much misinformation as possible, to put pressure on me from the media and my husband, let us be put on a pillar of shame with one goal.”

Her resignation comes ten days after investigators raided asylums of horrors in Voluntara and Afumac, and after numerous revelations about Gabriela Firea’s ties to Stefan Godey, the patron of two homes for the elderly.
