Victor Ponta, despre reținerea lui Călin Georgescu: „Suntem ca în Rusia”

Victor Ponta draws parallels between the arrest of Călin Georgescu and political repression in Russia, criticizing Romania's political climate. He argues that the arrest reflects a troubling trend where political opponents are targeted, likening it to actions taken by Putin. Georgescu was detained by DIICOT for alleged fraud, and Ponta notes a lack of vocal opposition to this arrest, except from George Simion of AUR. Simion has publicly supported Georgescu and condemned the political pressures surrounding the government formation. AUR members protested in Parliament against what they term 'political police'.
