George Simion looks accused of ambassador Andrei Muraru
The gold candidate for the presidential elections, George Simion, said on Wednesday, about money spent in the campaign, that it is somewhere 20% compared to Crin Antonescu. About the US lobby company and the alleged amount of 1.5 million euros, for consulting, Simion said it was an offer, but which did not go to a contract. He showed in this context to the ambassador Muraru, the Romanian ambassador to the United States.
Simion was asked in an interview on Prima TV how much money has spent so far in the election campaign.
« Some millions of lei. I saw some articles, in the newspaper, that I am not on the first or second position, from this point of view. We try to make as diverse expenses, to record everything to be accused, as Mr. Georgescu was accused, that we do not declare expenses. (..) I know that we are 20%, » he said.
About the scandal of the lobby company in America, George Simion has shown that, being a party, they receive different offers, proposals from some political consulting companies.
« This is how things work. Being an ascent party, we receive different offers, different proposals from some political consulting companies, at international level. It is a legal matter. I am sorry, I did not bring the documents here, but I would have shown you what a contract signed by the ambassador Muraru, the Romanian ambassador to the United States, who pays to a lobby company 50,000 euros per month. From Romania’s money, because he does not do his job as an ambassador. For the promotion of Romania, theoretically, it writes in the contract ””Simion said.
The golden leader also said he had not paid any money.
« I did not pay any money. I did not pay any dollar, to any company from America. And Crin Antonescu and Elena Lasconi and Victor Ponta made defamatory statements, including after the company in the United States denied the existence of a bank transfer or a contract that came into operation, there were two important televisions and a news site that continued in the Romanian. America. I did not pay any dollar.
The golden leader mentioned that he received the offer from them.
« It was an offer from that company in the United States that did not go on to a contract, because those people in the United States did not do us to make a better consultancy than my own campaign team and some smart young people from our country, » Simion explained.
He also showed that the company had to deal with the Romanian campaign and deal with their image in the United States.
« I have friends there. We were accused by the basons. Dr. Malone, Steve Bannon, who gives me consultancy, really and talk to him every day, but free. He is my friend. These people are in Romania, I stayed with them, they have the same ideology as we are. » Simion said that the company did not go to implement the contract. « That is why we have no contract and that is why we did not pay any dollar, » he said.
« I have a company that I work with, for 3 months, from America-Spania, in the Hispanic direction, but I pay 7000 euros a month. (..) Foreign consultants, I do not know if they have American citizenship, they are surely Spanish and I have met in the United States. They want to advise us at the Party Institute. This is as normal as possible and I want to implement this transparent model of communication in public space ”, said Simion.
« This with the payment of 1,500,000 euros shows that the system is desperate and that it has nothing to hang on and has to invent things like this, » he added.
