Marian Neacșu, the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs, emphasized that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI) does not have the authority to approve or ban protests, but is responsible for maintaining public order and safety. His comments come ahead of a protest organized by AUR on November 14 in Bucharest. Neacșu reiterated that the right to peaceful protest is constitutionally guaranteed and must be respected, while also highlighting the need for participants to adhere to the law. He assured that MAI will be present to ensure safety for both protesters and non-participants. Neacșu stressed the importance of fulfilling legal obligations and avoiding political disputes over public statements. Meanwhile, AUR leader George Simion announced the protest, criticizing the mayor for restricting public assembly rights and calling for supporters to join peacefully.
