AUR co-chair George Simion said the political party sympathizes with Sebastian Colţescu, considered “the victim of an aggressive campaign of denigration at the national and international level.” The Alliance for the Union of Romanians claims that the MFA and MTS “joined in the public lynching directed at the referee.”
„AUR noted with indignation the position of the Romanian authorities in the case of referee Sebastian Colţescu. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Youth and Sports joined in the public lynching directed at the referee, a Romanian citizen accused of racism because he used an objective descriptive expression, without pejorative connotation, during the PSG – Istanbul Başakşehir match “, transmit the GOLD leaders.
According to them, the position of the two institutions is “all the more scandalous since Colţescu was not convicted by any international court or institution”, and the investigation in this case is ongoing.
“AUR considers that the duty of Romanian state institutions is to defend Romanian citizens, not subject them to attacks and pressure dictated by the political correctness of some interest groups. We also noted once again that the media quickly took the one-sided direction of the case and ignored the referee’s explanation, emphasizing that his intention was never racism and that in his business environment, sometimes people cannot. express their feelings correctly and can be misinterpreted “, according to the political party’s press release.
“We support fairness in the sports field, not the intolerance generated by political fairness. Today is Colţescu, tomorrow it can be any of us. Yes, racism is unacceptable, but the situation that generated an unprecedented wave of hatred against a referee Romanian does not fall for this type of behavior. We sympathize with Sebastian Colţescu, victim of an aggressive campaign of denigration at national and international level “said AUR co-chair George Simion.
The match between PSG and Istanbul Başakşehir, which counted for the fourth day of Group H of the Champions League, was interrupted on Tuesday night, after 16 minutes of play, and both teams left the field, in protest against the Romanian referee Sebastian Colţescu. . He allegedly used the word “black” against a member of the technical staff of the Turkish team.

The match between PSG and Başakşehir will resume on Wednesday, in the 14th minute, with another referee squad.
