Vasile Costiuc, partenerul politic al lui George Simion în Republica Moldova, acuzat la Chișinău că ar fi intenționat să trimită o echipă la București să participe la protestul violent al ciobanilor

Liviu Vovc, leader of Moldova's DA Party, accused Vasile Costiuc of planning to send a team to participate in a violent protest in Bucharest. Vovc suggested that this was similar to a previous incident in 2024 when a team was sent to support AUR's protest. The Bucharest protest, co-organized by AUR, resulted in injuries as protesters clashed with law enforcement. Costiuc, linked to Russia, has campaigned for AUR and has business ties in Russia. He was seen with a former political consultant to Putin, who has been accused of KGB connections. The Moldovan Intelligence Service confirmed Costiuc's participation in the Moscow event, and he has been criticized for spreading anti-Romanian and anti-European sentiments.
