George Simion, leader of AUR, accuses President Nicușor Dan of interfering with the authorization process for an upcoming protest, claiming he ordered its blockage. Simion criticized Dan's statements as aggressive and not in line with his constitutional role as a mediator, suggesting Romania is moving towards totalitarianism. He asserts that Dan was aware the protest would not be authorized and labeled him a 'chameleon' for changing his stance based on political context. Simion argues that the organizers do not need official authorization for the protest, as no clear rejection was communicated by the city hall. Nicușor Dan defended the refusal, stating that there must be a correlation between the expected number of participants and the organizers' claims.
