Iași Mayor Mihai Chirica calls for an urgent investigation into the Morel Bolea case: “We cannot tolerate such a thing!” | Freedom

The mayor of Iași, Mihai Chirica, says that he read “with horror and disgust the material published in the publication Libertatea about certain events that had occurred within two NGOs of Iași.”

According to the investigation published this Wednesday by Libertatea, the leader of the Kasta Morrely and Eurodemos foundations, Morel Borea, is accused by former members of the associations of sexually and mentally abusing dozens of girls, some minors.

“I cannot remain indifferent, because it is a problem that affects the Iași community and because the scenes described in the article in question are particularly serious, far beyond the law and due,” said the mayor of Iasi in a statement received. on Wednesday. .

I urge the competent institutions to report, shed light and take emergency measures in relation to the extremely serious events presented in the press material! We cannot tolerate that! I am furthermore very surprised that although these reprehensible things are said to have been going on for a long time, I have not heard of any criminal investigation into it!

Mihai Chirica, Mayor of Iași:

The mayor says he is not a friend of Bolea

Mihai Chirica also insists that his image and that of the mayor’s office be disassociated from this scandal.

“I consider my association with this scandal to be partially and totally misplaced, demonstrating a shameful lack of professionalism on the part of the author,” says the mayor.

Mihai Chirica appeared alongside Morel Bolea at various events in recent years, and the city council provided funding of tens of thousands of euros to the two foundations, the Libertatea article states.

“The two associations are just two of the countless NGOs that have benefited from the financial support of the Iasi City Council,” says the mayor.

These are the amounts with which the two foundations were financed:

• In the period 2016-2020, based on Law 350/2005, the Iași City Council financed the “Leader for Europe” project of the Eurodemos association with a total amount of 190,725 lei.
• In the period 2015-2020, based on some decisions of the City Council, the Municipality of Iași supported the Ia Weeki Fashion Week event with the amount of 190,830 lei.

“However, this does not make me a ‘friend’ or an ‘enemy’ of NGO members, but only a fair and honest partner in projects that I do not directly initiate or approve.” , he says.

Eurodemos has been underwriting money from the Iași City Council for years for projects that have no impact, writes reporteris.ro in October 2020.

„The quality of the Iași City Council and the Iași City Council as funders of some projects of some non-governmental organizations cannot make the municipality and Mayor Mihai Chirica accomplices of possible criminal acts. Furthermore, Mayor Mihai Chirica does not have the powers neither as an evaluator nor as an institution to approve such projects, which is why the label “friend of the organizers” is a tendentious and deeply reprehensible expression of the Libertatea publication “, it is also shown in the notice. transmitted by the Iași City Council.
