Former President Traian Băsescu, currently a member of the European Parliament, does not rule out external interference in the Romanian parliamentary elections on December 6, suggesting that he is of Eastern origin and thus explaining the “absolutely fabulous” success of the AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians), which, although it was established only a year ago, managed to pass eight percent in the future Parliament, thanks to a “silent campaign”, carried out mainly on the Internet.
When asked Monday night on Digi24 whether AUR “stole” the percentages from the PMP, the party he founded, in the elections, Traian Băsescu said: “I would not speculate. I don’t even want to comment on the explosive appearance of this new band. The biggest surprise is that they had an extremely strong silent campaign in the diaspora, where they achieved absolutely fabulous results. But I’m still doing my own analysis. Both, what I noticed, a campaign of extreme aggression on the Internet as a campaign that does not seem to be of Romanian origin, ”said Traian Băsescu.
Asked for the details, Traian Băsescu said: “I cannot tell you more, but I saw many figures with slanted eyes there.” When asked what he was referring to, former President Traian Băsescu continued: “I mean, it’s a tall tower in St. Petersburg where there are winches from all nations and they also got into Brexit, they also went into the American elections. And I do not rule out the possibility that he also gets involved in the Romanian elections. But it is, at this point, a speculation, “repeated the former president.
Traian Băsescu explained that it is based on his observations on the “surprise” in the diaspora. “If, let’s say, here (in Romania – no) they were active, they went, they took the flag every time, they walked, in the diaspora you have to do a gigantic job to obtain scores like those obtained by AUR. And this, more if you look at the investments that have been made on the internet, there are things that force me to think, which does not mean that there are greater suspicions. But I can’t help but think, “added Traian Băsescu.

Asked whether there should be an investigation into this, of the participation of a foreign power in the elections, modeled after the great scandal in the United States, Traian Băsescu said: “That’s right, we also have the experience of Oxford Analytica (no – Cambridge Analytica), several experiences that have already been carried out. But I do not think that I am the one who has the right to send a signal to the institutions. Any signal and research that is done is a after, because nobody has ever changed the outcome of the elections as a result of such investigations, “said the former president.
