In an editorial published on Republica, Cristian Tudor Popescu sharply attacked the USR after it notified the European Commission, drawing attention to the “disturbing and unjustified actions” of the prosecutor, respectively, the chief prosecutor of the National Anti-corruption Authority (DNA) before accusing former ministers of involvement Romania in the procurement of vaccines against COVID-19, “despite the lack of evidence or reasonable suspicion of corruption.”

“Black lies, like “hit me, hit you, hit plants and factories.” He says that the prosecution’s arguments in no way question the necessity and effectiveness of vaccination, but only concern legality.

In addition, the journalist accuses the USR of attacking DNA and the rule of law “just like Tudorel “Mătreață” Toader and other “lawyers” of the Dragni regime!”:

“The fact that I voted in the 2019 European Parliament elections for these corrupt lifurs who scurry around under the name of USR hurts me worse than the vote I cast in the 2000 elections for Ion Iliescu. (read more) about the republic)

In an official letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the USR condemns the violation of the separation of powers in the state and the undermining of democracy and European unity.

• “The initiation of criminal proceedings by the DNA prosecutor against former Prime Minister Florin Citsu and former Ministers of Health Vlad Voiculescu and Ioana Miheile is in fact an indictment of the pan-European procurement mechanism for vaccines against COVID-19.
• Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to this case, which has deep implications not only at the national, but also at the European level.
• In this case, not only the former minister of the USSR is accused, but also the entire reaction of the European Union to the biggest crisis in the field of health care in recent history. The anti-vaccination arguments of the DNA prosecutor, set out in official documents, are shocking and incompatible with modern Europe. Rationality, common sense and the very idea of ​​basing public policy decisions on scientific data are under attack,” says USR leader Katalin Drula.

He says that “the consequences of these absurd criminal charges are of particular concern in the context of the upcoming European elections” and “this is only the beginning of a large-scale anti-European campaign that we should expect from the ruling Social Democratic Party and the extremist AUR party.”
