AUR filed a complaint against the “illegalities committed by the “Coalition”. PNL representatives from Alba, accused of changing the lists submitted for the local elections

“After illegally and unconstitutionally combining the European parliamentary elections with the local ones, in the hope that they will retain their functions, PSD and PNL continue the series of illegalities.

In Alba county, in Șugag commune, we have the clearest example in this regard.

The procedure for submitting candidacies and their approval is clear, but not for Romanian citizens. In the commune of Șugag, the PNL decided to act against the law. On April 27, 2024, when the President of the AUR local organization submitted his candidacy, he noticed that the list proposed by the PNL for the Sugag City Council did not have representatives of both sexes.

He took a photo of the list published on the BEC Șugag display where Avram Dumitru appeared as a candidate in position 14, without a Decision of the BEC Șugag accompanying it. The president and the deputy had the legal obligation to convene the entire Electoral Circumscription Bureau within 24 hours from the registration of the PNL candidacy and to adopt a unanimous decision.

Later, on April 30, 2024, PNL representatives, with the complicity of the president and the deputy, changed the list of candidates for the election of the Șugag local council, and the 14th position was occupied by Avram Maria, the list having the same registration date, April 25, 2024, but this time with a decision of BEC Șugag who accompanied her. Therefore, on April 30, 2024, BEC Șugag Decision no. 3 was falsely signed, which admitted the candidacy of the PNL in which it appears at position no. 14 Avram Maria instead of AVRAM DUMITRU”, the AUR representatives said in a press release on Thursday.

According to the cited source, all candidacy proposals had to be analyzed within a maximum of 24 hours from registration, in the case of PNL until April 26, 2024 at the latest, and changing the members of the lists has a special procedure, not by changing the list to a fake one. Also, all decisions had to be adopted within 24 hours, not after 5 days, on April 30, 2024.

AUR Alba notified this violation of the law and filed a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Alba Court against the president of BEC Șugag and the deputy of BEC Șugag for committing the acts of falsifying electoral documents and records, as well as falsifying material in official documents, all these acts committed with the complicity of the auxiliary staff from the Șugag City Hall.

“We cannot close our eyes to such abuses against the laws in Romania. There is no such thing as for some the law is a mummy and for others a plague. All the crimes were committed to create an advantage for the PNL and to fulfill the conditions provided by art. 7 paragraph 1 of Law no. 115/2015 on the participation of both sexes.

We want this year’s elections, even if they were merged illegally and unconstitutionally, to be fair ones, only we see very clearly what the plans of the merged parties from PSD-PNL are: rigging the elections for their own interest, to keep their own positions people,” AUR said in the quoted statement.

“We will not stop here, but we will go all the way in court against the criminal coalition!”, said the representatives of the formation led by George Simion.
