The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) is a Romanian political party, founded in September 2019 by George Simion, a unionist activist and candidate for the European elections of the same year.
The party has branches in 22 countries in Europe and North America.
AUR had its first congress on January 24, 2020, the elected leadership was composed of two co-chairs: George Simion and former journalist Claudiu Târziu, who ran for the City Council of the capital in the 2020 local elections.
The GOLD candidates in Bucharest for the 2020 parliamentary elections are Claudiu Târziu, who opens the list for the Senate, and George Simion, who opens the list for the Chamber of Deputies.
Former party members who have been in parliament appear on the GOLD lists. This is the case of Francis Tobă, who opens the list in the Chamber of Deputies. Tobă was an advisor to Adrian Năstase, a former FDSN MP and former PSD parliamentary candidate.
What does the GOLD Alliance aim at?
After the party’s founder, George Simion, unsuccessfully ran in 2019 as an independent in the European elections under the slogan “Greater Romania in Europe”, he launched the AUR Alliance, whose political program has four “pillars”: family, homeland , faith. , freedom.
According to the statute, AUR aims to achieve the unity of Romanians everywhere “for our very existence as a nation”. Thus, among the objectives of AUR is the assumption of the reunion with the Republic of Moldova as a country project.
The AUR political program shows that it has a “spiritualist vision, which is categorically opposed to the flat vision of vulgar materialism.”
“We trust that the fundamental stake of our lives is spiritual, unrelated to the inept ambition of material progress. Obviously, this position of ours does not mean that we are against the natural search for the well-being of each person, but rather that we reject the idolatry of the money, considering material gain a means, not an end in itself ”, is shown in the AUR program.
The AUR electoral program is available on the Alliance website.
Who is George Simion? He was expelled from the Republic of Moldova.
George Simion drew the public’s attention especially in 2015, when he was expelled from the Republic of Moldova, with the prohibition of entering the country for another 5 years, for his marches and union activity.
“They asked me to accompany them, they handed me a paper declaring me undesirable for 5 years and they took me to customs. They didn’t motivate me, but the reason was that we were preparing a very big march on May 16. The political class in Chisinau does not like the prepared march “, tells the story, at that time, George Simion, in the program” Power Games “, presented by Rareș Bogdan.
In 2016, George Simion organized a march in Bucharest to unite Bessarabia with Romania, when he was detained for several hours, after he left the advertised route and forced the cordon of gendarmes.
A PRM voter and a supporter of Victor Ponta when he was prime minister, Simion was publicly defended by Eugen Tomac and Sebastian Ghiță, who even went to the police station to protest the arrest of him and four other participants in the march, according to g4media.ro.
George Simion was also involved in the June 2019 incidents in Valea Uzului, when several dozen Romanians forcibly entered the Military Cemetery, which local authorities, led by UDMR politicians, had locked up with a chain and padlock.
Among the participants in the action were representatives of the Orthodox Brotherhood of Saint Great Martyr George, bearer of Victory, the New Right and George Simion. They broke down the cemetery gate and beat the Hungarians with flags, declaring that they wanted to commemorate the Romanian soldiers.
Another AUR representative, Dan Tănasă, candidate for the Chamber of Deputies in Mureș in the 2020 parliamentary elections, received praise from Sputnik, after declaring then that “There are more than 1,200 people, it is an important event, but the Romanian state authorities do not they are here! “
“He is a Romanian blogger who defends, in his articles, the rights of Romanians in the Szekler land,” Sputnik wrote about Dan Tănasă.
Who is Claudiu Târziu. Actively participated in the family referendum
Claudiu Târziu was a member of the National Coordination Council of the Coalition for the Family during the period of collecting signatures for the amendment of the Constitution.
“Whoever boycotts the Marriage Referendum or votes against is against freedom, without love and irresponsible,” said Claudiu Târziu in 2018, who continued with a blunt message: “The parties that betrayed the Romanian family must be removed from Parliament. “.
Claudiu Târziu was the director and founder of the magazine “Rost”, “a magazine for the national and Christian resurrection”, published in December 2002.
In his personal blog, Târziu did not hide his admiration for Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.
“What historical truth was ignored by Ion Cristoiu when he played Codreanu? Was he not charismatic, incorruptible and idealistic (or, please, if you will, romantic)? When and what evidence is there that the Legionary Movement prepared the assassination en masse of the Jews? ”Claudiu Târziu wrote.
Participants in protests against masks
In September 2020, AUR leaders held a protest against masks in Victoriei Square, where they criticized the authorities’ decisions to impose the use of a mask in public spaces. They did not wear masks and protested with tricolor flags in their hands and balloons that said “Mask kills”.
AUR also reached Google
Shortly after announcing the results of the exit poll, according to which AUR obtained 5.3% in the Senate and 5.2% in the Chamber of Deputies, Romanians rushed to search the Internet for more information about the surprise of the CURS-Avangarde survey.
Thus, AUR appeared in the first positions in Google Trends, the free service of the American giant in which you can consult the most searched terms in your own search engine.
