WHY ELON MUSK and other rich scumbags want Georgescu to be Romania's president:
In their entire history, Romanians have never been so rich, secure and free as they are today as part of the European Union and NATO
We were always at the crossroads of empires and we always got screwed by the Ottomans, Russians, Hapsburgs, Austrians etc.
Later by Nazi Germany and the Soviets.
In the 90s, it was open season on Romania, wealthy foreigners aided by former Romanian communists turned capitalists appropriated huge amounts of money and resources.
Since 2007 when we joined the EU, quality of life and GDP have grown year by year and although we are far from perfect and we still have corruption it is way way harder to rob Romania blind like they used to.
In 2013, a very corrupt Romanian prime minister (and current enthusiastic supporter of Calin Georgescu) gave a license of gold exploitation to very shady business men with terms so bad for Romania it would make an African dictatorship laugh at how obviously stupid we would be to go through with it.
They wanted to erase the pristine town of Rosia Montana, completely wipe out a mountain and dig a huge pit that they would exploit using cyanide. The project would also wipe out a historic 2000 year old Roman Mine in the area. No real environmental guarantees as well and the site is believed to contain rare earths as well but we only got a small percentage of the gold sales. Everything else the company found was fully theirs.
Hundreds of thousands of people went on the streets for months in all Romanian cities to protest this deal. It was the longest and biggest peaceful protest in Romania's history.
The shady people behind the project spent millions in smear campaigns, fake news, paid journalists to do PR for the Gold Company, even hired actors too dress up as miners and call us enemies of the working man even though, with cyanide pits, you don't need traditional miners and the project would provide just a few hundred jobs. They of course called us agents of Soros.
But we kept protesting and the project was initially postponed then completely canceled because of huge public pressure.
Rosia Montana is now a UNESCO world Heritage site and the international court of arbitration decided last year that the 2013 deal was not done legally.
Make no mistake. They are trying to destabilize Romania with Georgescu because they see us getting stronger and they really really want our gold and to be kicked around by empires again.
Georgescu is not a patriot, he is an enemy agent who promised he would open up licensees for resource exploitation with priority going to the people who backed him.
Some of whom, Like Frank Timis, were instrumental in the Rosia Montana project in 2013
They want to steal our resources and abandon us to the russians when they're done.
