The National Peasant Alliance led by Radu Gideu announces the violation of the cooperation protocol with the AUR, accusing George Simion of “totalitarian tendencies and a dictatorial leadership style.” It is the second formation to leave the “sovereignist pole” formed around the AUR in the last two days, after the “Force of National Identity”, a party led by former PSD minister Ilan Laufer.

National Peasant Alliance President Radu Gideu announced Saturday night via press release that the decision to end cooperation with AUR was made unanimously at the party’s leadership forums, “after a detailed analysis of behavior and actions.” » of AUR leader George Simion.

  • “The National Peasant Alliance found that Mr. Simion does not share the fundamental values ​​and principles of democracy and open and constructive dialogue in politics.
  • We are faced with a constant lack of sensitivity and openness on the part of Mr. Simion to address the real problems of Romanians and adopt responsible and effective policies for the common good.
  • Despite our efforts to make constructive proposals and contribute to the development of Romanian society, we were met with indifference and rejection.
  • We also believe that Mr. Simion’s approach to politics is marked by totalitarian tendencies and a dictatorial style of leadership, which does not fit into our democratic values ​​and respect for diversity and pluralism of opinion,” Radu Gideu accuses.

And the party led by Ilan Laufer broke the alliance with AUR. “George Simion treats his closest employees with contempt”

This is the second entity that emerges from the “sovereignist pole” formed around the AUR. On Friday, the leader of the National Identity Force party, Ilan Laufer, a former PSD minister, announced his separation from the AUR Alliance, accusing George Simion of pressuring members of the alliance to register directly on the AUR platform and hand over their membership records. “thus undermining the legal autonomy and integrity of the constituent parties.”

  • “Since we joined the AUR Alliance, the AUR President has been pressuring members of the Alliance parties to register directly on the AUR platform and submit members’ records, thus undermining the legal autonomy and integrity of the constituent parties.
  • This behavior indicates that the AUR Alliance was designed mainly to illegally transfer members of constituent parties to the AUR Party, an attempt to remove sovereign parties from the Alliance with the express purpose of confiscating and destroying the nationalist and sovereignist movement in Romania. The protocol was signed from the beginning for media purposes only, to avoid the public perception that the President of AUR is an isolated and obscure figure on the political landscape.
  • Although many honest Romanians are pinning their hopes on this political project, the president of the AUR, in an attempt to destroy the sovereignist movement, insists that his main strategy remains focused on the blockade, the circus and the media scandal, even though the people are waiting for real solutions to the pressing problems they face “, Ilan Laufer claimed.

Ilan Laufer also charged the “contempt and humiliation that is difficult to express in words” with which George Simeon treated his closest associates:

  • “Thus, both I and my colleagues from the FIN party have dedicated our efforts and work in the AUR Alliance to contribute to this political construction.
  • However, we believe that the revealed reality is cruel and contradicts the protocol we signed, as well as the basic democratic principles and nationalist and sovereign values ​​for which we are fighting, therefore all colleagues from the FIN leadership unanimously decided to withdraw from the AUR Alliance.

In November, AUR leader George Simion announced the creation of a “sovereignist pole”, an alliance that gravitates around the AUR and included the National Peasant Alliance led by Radu Gideu, the Republican Party led by Marian Kucha, the National Identity Force – PSL – Ilan Laufer and the National Alliance Revival – Peter Costea.

“Our goal is to achieve success in the last parliamentary and presidential elections, in November-December 2024, with the majority of Romanian votes. In this sense, we call with us in the GOLDEN Sovereign Pole all formations, associations, individuals who oppose the so-called PSD-PNL Democratic Bloc. Especially after the scandal with Mrs. Lasconi, we see that we are the only ones who defend normal, natural values, and we must be strong to win. Everyone is needed, I call on all Romanians to join me,” George Simion told HotNews.ro.
