Some of this brigade filmed people with masks and city backpacks in the back with the telephone, passing through what is called Plaza de Mures, the public space that houses, on the first floor, the headquarters of the Electoral Office District (BES). We are told that they are from USR and that they came to steal or cast “votes.”
There is no information, beyond the allegations of those who insistently film them, that they are representatives, in one way or another, of USRPLUS.
Then it could be anyone.
Later, in the afternoon, although the count had been completed, the minutes were centralized and “uploaded” to the software, and the Central Electoral Office had already rejected a request for a vote count in the constituency, since in an entry counted by the director starts an absolute circus.
There is “information” and even “photos and videos” about some people who would have come with a car full of voting bags and “USR prints” to take or leave those voting bags at BES.
Call 112, the gendarmes and the police appear. The “accused” of walking with ballot boxes next to the BES are questioned about their presence there, the authorities see nothing wrong and leave them alone.
No one saw, photographed or filmed the election prints in their possession, just a few backpacks in the back seat of a car with two people (or three, at some point).
The show “Sinteza Zilei” starts on Antena3. After a few minutes devoted, accordingly, to the evolution of the pandemic in Romania, the topic slowly slides towards “the unprecedented situation in Sector 1”.
In the study, in fact, the mayor’s lawyer Dan Tudorache remains in office, formally defeated by the opposition candidate, Clotilde Armand.
From time to time, the connection leaves the studio to the station’s field team, who broadcast live the screams, cries and wails of the agitators gathered in front of BES, who accused the police of doing nothing to catch the Missionaries walking with urns next to the closed BES, sealed for hours and ready for decontamination after the president, a prosecutor, tested positive for Covid.
The moderator initiates a telephone conversation with the PSD representative at BES, who practically takes up, with some more details, what Tudorache’s lawyer had already said on the set. About the pressures on BES members, the hordes of users standing in front of the office and intimidating them, the long working hours and the prospect of a virus infection, all combined with details about the various attempts by users of the manipulate, by means of, the result of the vote.
The images of the day are retaken in a loop, with people with masks on their faces and backpacks on their backs running between the stores of the commercial space.
The connection returns to BES, where Lovin and Cerva are reprimanded by the gendarmes for slapping one of the cars. He cries hysterically and screams, between accusations of patriotism, crying out in tears.
Clearly, something is happening. Or that would be the subliminal idea, the “scene” that prepares the big reveal. Bomb. NUCLEAR.
However, since the count is over, isn’t there a heavily guarded space where the bags are stored? How else could these people go to the sacks, put or take out sacks with votes that they are talking about, crying, the citizens gathered in BES to defend their vote and, implicitly, democracy? I quoted from memory the key phrase uttered by Catalina Porumbel, one of the station employees, the phrase intended to introduce NUCLEAR.
The moderator pretends to speak to the director, puts his hand theatrically over the in-ear headphones, after which he learns that the station’s journalists have obtained “incredible” images.
At the moment the information circulates, and all only for the benefit of our viewers, says the television star, asking his colleagues what the respective images contain, and then asking them on the video wall and at the station.
In terms of drama, the images appear to be taken directly from a WhatsApp interface, which appears for a split second on the studio wall.
Then we see how some people, with an identity impossible to establish at this moment, enter a room full of ballot boxes.
There are four people, maybe five. One of them walks through the piles of bags and looks, according to the label, for one in particular. The others look at him and do not touch anything around him.
They seem, after the movements, to have certain roles in what we see. One checks something, the others look at it from a meter or two.
But for those in the studio, the content of the images is unknown. It is very clear: the users entered the room with bags of ballots and walked towards them!
No one from USR responds to clarify what we have here, mark the moderator, avoiding the danger of a new modest fine from CNA. Let’s call the authorities or Ms. Firea, she almost screamed in the studio.
The authorities do not respond, so Mrs. Firea enters the phone live, who, outraged by what she sees in the images, asks for the vote recount or re-election.
Those on the set keep up the pace, pedaling over the chorus of mistrust in the authorities.
Luckily the show was over, because they were fast approaching the request to rebuild the 1989 Revolution or, God forbid, the 1918 Union.
At BES, people calmed down. There are still about 15 people still active, who from time to time, through live shows on Facebook, make a significantly distorted summary of the events and call people to continue the protest.
The situation is still animated when a delegation from PNL Sector 1 appears, headed by Sebastián Burduja, the chief. He and his people were yelled at by everything. He is reminded of his father’s connection to Bancorex, one of the great guns of the transition, his bill is quickly calculated for it, ugly words are thrown back and forth at him, then after the Liberals leave, the cold has subsided. like it freezes the dissatisfied.
The gendarmes stepped aside and watched the circus as, from time to time, a scattered voice warmed up with a slogan about the USR thief. All in the name of democracy, manifested especially by the correction of the free vote, obviously.
Oana Lovin and Codruta Cerva were also tired. It’s cold, people prefer to leave, but some also come. Like any common person, some of the latter have access permits to the Sector 1 Town Hall on their windshield.
In the Antena 3 study, the conclusions are clear: I caught users stealing it in the room with the voting bags.
Under the watchful direction of General Firea, the sentiment is clear: the USR stole the elections, but Mrs. Firea, Mr. Tudorache and the free journalists of Antena3 fight for the truth.
Shortly after 1 pm, on the news, Antena3 continues to see the “massive” protest from BES.
The newsletter breaks with a hot interview with Catalin Berenghi, who buries pigs in Bucharest to prevent the construction of a mosque. When, unpredictably, the man, probably also a candidate in these local elections, says that he doesn’t care about Firea and Tudorache, he cares that they have stolen him, the connection is abruptly cut off.
In the study, Adrian Ursu, one of the heads of the station, also summarizes the day users were caught stealing votes. This between two appeals to the authorities to avoid possible street fights, because on the pages of USRPLUS there are calls for a counter-demonstration.
Ursu probably did not notice the reactions of the USR leaders, also published on Facebook, according to which the people who were caught entering the polls were representatives of BES who were seeking confirmation of the data from different sections.
Half an hour later, in the cold of the night, exhausted, the arrows of Lovin and Cerva declared the “protest” closed, with the promise that they would all return the next morning.
Epilogue
The conclusions that are required are, first of all, factual, but they also dare two stumps of political analysis.
1. No one has seen anyone from USRPLUS wearing election stamps. Police and gendarmes saw some people that Lovin, Cerva and the others said were from the USR and had vote bags, asked them what they were looking for there and let them go.
2. The people gathered in front of BES on Wednesday night are close to the mayor who is still in office, Dan Tudorache. Both Cerva and Lovin, as well as some of those who came there at their insistence (at least two cars had access permits to the city hall on their windshields).
3. The images presented on Antena 3, NUCLEARA, which is the most probable, represent, most likely, judging by the behavior of the silhouettes, a part of the electoral process. Of course, the images are spectacular in themselves, few people have seen what the voting bag room looks like on a BES.
4. Obviously, the same images are obtained by Antena3 from the Sector 1 Town Hall, still run by Tudorache, which somehow tries to maintain its position despite the results of the polls. The building in which BES operates and in which, implicitly, the bag of cameras with bulletins is located belongs to the institution that runs, therefore the surveillance camera system.
5. All these manipulations, but also many other similar ones, see the hysteria of the superimposed QR codes, they come in the context of a communication under any criticism from the authorities. It is clear that there is a need for a “referee” in all these matters, and the authority – electoral or public order – is asleep.
6. Nature must show that it is fighting. At least she’s fighting, after losing. Otherwise, she disappears from political life.
7. Voiculescu must support Firea. Don’t lose Firea from PSD. Only by clinging to the PSD can your party return to Parliament. Otherwise, the old tycoon is left with his only control mechanism over political decisions, the hammer of Antena3, which sinks, with each abracadabranta construction, into irrelevance.
Directed by Antena3 on Wednesday night, for example, it reached a maximum of 400,000 viewers.
