« Romania is not a state worthy of Visa Waiver »
Yes, I thank the United States for sending a clear message: Romania is not at the moment a democratic state, worthy of Visa Waiver, as a result of 35 years of corruption and the cancellation of the elections that led Romania to the only EU member country classified as a « hybrid regime », at a « Junk » step, George Simion said.
« The United States also realized the flagrant manipulations made by the governments of recent years. Also G4Media, who discovered my statement of » political suicide « , wrote in September 2024 that » in the attempt to decrease the refusal rate for US visas to 3%, the government decided that the budgets in the defense, public order, the national security dollars paid as a visa fee ”.
In total, according to the data presented in the public space, we are talking about over 20,000 such visas, taken on the knees from public money, only for Romania to meet the conditions of entry into Visa Waiver, and the ruling coalition can score political. The Biden administration has been done not to see these things. Under the Trump administration and tightening policy against migration, such maneuvers no longer work. The United States – our strategic partners, the business environment and the financial market react exactly according to the reality we are in. I don’t lie! I tell the truth, no matter how hard this truth may be. Maybe it’s not comfortable for the election campaign and maybe it’s not a good « marketing ». I see how television screams they are doing political suicide. If the truth is political suicide, I prefer to commit suicide than to see how Romanians are lied to. The truth is one: Romania is not a democracy at the moment! ”Says George Simion.
The details come after George Simion thanked the Trump administration for excluding Romania from the Visa Waiver program, in an interview with an American influencer.
His statements were criticized by his counter -candidate Nicușor Dan.
« To enjoy and thank you that Romanian citizens have remained without a program that are exempt from travel visas in the United States is inconceivable for someone who wants to run Romania. His cynical joy at the loss of Romanians is an unacceptable betrayal, » said Nicușor Dan.
