Former AUR insider Gelu Vișan has publicly accused George Simion, the party’s leader, of stealing the identity of former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu and of seeking to win Georgescu’s votes in the 2024 election. Vișan alleges that Simion and his aides travelled to the United States, presenting themselves as victims of cancelled and fraudulent elections, while simultaneously trying to co‑opt Georgescu’s support base. Dan Dungaciu, AUR’s first vice‑president, has denied any discussion of Georgescu during the U.S. trip and insists that no U.S. officials are investigating Georgescu. The accusations have sparked a heated debate within Romanian nationalist circles, with Vișan calling Simion and his associates “traitors.”
