• “I will go to DNA today at 10:00 to hear for the first time how the distortion of reality and the making of defamatory accusations (based on sources) by an institution of the Romanian state are justified.
• Apart from the absurd accusations leveled against me, affecting my family, my work, my time (in a way that I would not wish upon any honest person just because she took public office and interfered), the file itself is a “European prem ‘yero’: a mistake bordering on madness.
• The charge is to purchase too many vaccines.
• Vaccines have saved lives, and thanks to the European mechanism, Romania was among the countries that had the opportunity to have a timely and sufficient vaccine. Long before the billions of people in this big world,” Voiculescu wrote on Facebook.

The former Minister of Health said in an interview with HotNews.ro, a day before he was first heard by the DNA in the case, that the procurement of vaccines against COVID-19 during the pandemic was “decided and signed” by the Prime Minister of that weather, Florin Citsu, “who never went beyond the word of the president”, or “those to whom he gave the mandate”, the National Committee for the Coordination of Vaccination Activities (CNCAV).

The former minister also said about the contract for the purchase of the vaccine that it “was practically signed electronically by a representative authorized by the CNCAV – a researcher employed by the MAPN (Institute Cantacuzino) who had a unique key to decipher the contract sent by the European Commission. “.

The former health minister admits that “this whole story affects my family, my life, my time”, but says that he has no emotions that he can be convicted in such a case: “It kind of surprises me, that everyone who made the decision to vaccinate has now swallowed their tongues, and it worries me that the media has forgotten who they see on TV every day talking about vaccinating and who their bosses are.”
