There are images that speak more than a thousand words. We saw one of them with our own eyes: it is that of George Simion embracing an elderly woman in a popular market in Bucharest, just as he did in dozens of towns and villages throughout Romania. No stage, no script. Just the simplicity and truth of an authentic gesture that tells much more than any rally. It tells the story of a man who comes from the people and who wants to give back voice, dignity and future to the people.
Simion has no power groups, opaque foundations or overseas billionaires behind him. His strength comes from below, from years of battles carried out with consistency and sacrifice to defend real Romania. The one made up of families, workers, young people too often forced to look abroad for what their own country could not offer.
His project is clear: to build a Romania to which the millions of emigrated compatriots can finally return. A Romania where the new generations are no longer forced to pack their bags, because work, opportunity and hope await them back home.
It is the heart of the vision that we could call ‘Romania First’, perfectly in line with Giorgia Meloni’s agenda in Italy and Donald Trump’s titanic battle in the United States. In a word, return sovereignty: economic, political, cultural. Give it back to the people, wresting it from the hands of the globalist elite that has plundered nations to enrich multinationals and relocate jobs to countries where rights are waste paper, like China.
But you only have to turn on the television or flip through the newspapers to see how Simion is systematically described with the usual clichés: ‘extreme right’, ‘ultra-right’, ‘fascist’, ‘dangerous’. It is the script we know well. They use it against anyone who does not align with the single thought imposed by the radical left and the globalist establishment.
It happened to Trump, it happens to Meloni, it happens today to George Simion. But the reality is another: Simion has nothing to do with the ghosts of the past that he conjures up only out of fear of confronting the present.
But the real extremism is that of those who, in the name of green madness, sacrifice entire economies. Of those who impose European diktats without any popular mandate. Of those who exploit ideology to hide enormous economic interests, which have nothing to do with social justice and everything to do with the profit of the few, of those who usurp every form of democracy and free opinion whenever it differs from the dogmas of political correctness.
We of La Voce del Patriota are here, in Bucharest, to tell you the truth. Without filters, without masters, without the fear of saying how things really are. Because at stake is not just an election campaign: there is the possibility of bringing the national interest, respect for identity, the defence of Western values and the very concept of democracy back to the centre.
The stakes are very high for all of us in the West: to live as free citizens or, to borrow from George Orwell, with our faces constantly crushed by the boot of single-think dictators.
