George Simion, during a press conference, was evasive about organizing a protest for Călin Georgescu, admitting to mobilizing supporters. The initial protest request was denied due to high violence risks, including social media threats. A new request for 5,000 participants was also rejected. Simion claimed the protest is against Nicușor Dan, despite earlier stating it supports Georgescu. He stated he would join as a legal representative but did not take formal responsibility for the protest. The authorities cited risks from a concurrent football match as a reason for denying the protest. Simion criticized the mayor for not approving the protest and emphasized the need for safety measures.
