DREPT: “Putinists should not be received at the presidential palace”
The DREPT party, led by Vlad Gheorghe, has asked Romanian President Nicușor Dan not to receive MEP Diana Șoșoacă at the government-formation consultations on October 5. According to the party, inviting the leader of SOS Romania grants political legitimacy to a figure who holds pro-Russian and anti-European positions.
The statement, reported by Investigatoria, highlighted Șoșoacă's participation in the St. Petersburg economic forum, as well as her contacts with representatives of the Russian embassy. According to DREPT, Cotroceni must consistently uphold Romania's Western orientation and must not lend political authority to "Putin's people." The party also referred to the criminal case against Șoșoacă: according to its statement, prosecutors are investigating her for eleven acts, including promoting legionary ideas and glorifying the cult of individuals convicted of genocide or war crimes. They recalled her public praise of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, founder of the Iron Guard, as well as the suspension of Șoșoacă's parliamentary immunity on April 28. DREPT stated that an invitation to Cotroceni would give her the same political stage as the democratic parties. Despite the protest, Șoșoacă took part in the consultations and, unabashed, put herself forward as a candidate for prime minister.
