In a bombshell appearance on the show “Behind the Scenes of the Parallel State,” Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI), an independent member of the European Parliament, launched a series of harsh accusations against political leaders, claiming that the current configuration of the public scene is the result of infiltrations coordinated by “the system” dating back to his student days. Lazarus questioned the rise of PMP leader Eugen Tomac and outlined a scenario of a possible large-scale conspiracy involving the names of Traian Băsescu, Nicușor Dan, and Sebastian Ghiță.
Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI) began his speech by explaining how the unseen mechanisms of Romanian politics work, offering examples from his own experience during the period when he coordinated student movements.
“Could I suggest that the system is behind him? That’s what this is about. He became Băsescu’s man. How did he become Băsescu’s man? Well, he was brought into the PDL… You see, I had students around me who were party people. For example, Gușoi was on my teams and he was with the Liberals. This guy, what’s his name, Bănicioiu, was on my teams and he was with the Social Democrats. And so on, the list could go on. All of them were infiltrating my movement at the time. But I wasn’t paying attention to them, because they didn’t control anything—I did.”
The MEP emphasized that the big problem is how the system operates, placing its pawns early on. He gave the example of the PMP leader: “How did Eugen Tomac end up enrolling in the History Department in 1999, and a month later be in Radu Vasile’s office? Now that’s something! Well, if I were to call the history students now, my classmates from back then, they’d tell me: ‘Man, we don’t know this guy. We don’t know when he went to college. Well, he wasn’t with us; he wasn’t part of the old guard during the strikes and the struggles for Greater Romania, for our rights.”
Moving on to foreign policy and the issue of unification, Lazarus harshly criticized Tomac for his position in the European Parliament and called for a much more assertive approach by Romania toward the Republic of Moldova and the historical territories.
“What did he do? He made a scandal out of this whole ‘Bessarabia, Romania, whatever’ business. He even wrote a thesis on it, since he was born in the former Soviet space, specifically in Ukraine. Why doesn’t he come to the European Parliament to rub it in their faces and say that Bessarabia is Romania and that Northern Bukovina is Romania? I don’t care whose influence he’s under—whether Ukraine is under the influence of Brussels or the Biden administration, or whether Moldova was under Russian control. What interests me is that Bessarabia is Romania and that Northern Bukovina is Romania! Does he have any article in the PMP’s charter showing that he advocates for Greater Romania?”
Lazarus continued with harsh criticism of the way the Romanian state provides financial support to Chișinău without asserting its authority:
“Wasn’t he with me when I said that Moldova doesn’t need to join the EU on its own, and that the Union should give two billion euros—and from our money, of course—to Moldova? And for us to give them cheap energy, for free, and so much aid? All just to keep them in power with the money coming through NGOs and grants. We’re funding them like fools and hiding it. Why? Because we don’t want Romanians to find out that we’re giving money to Moldova. Well, Moldova is ours! If it’s ours, let’s take ownership of this, let’s fund it as such, so that we can be more numerous and stronger. But if we take Moldova, we must also take Ukraine, because Bukovina is ours too.”
The MEP concluded bluntly that, from a political standpoint, Tomac has not distinguished himself with anything relevant to Romania in Brussels, aside from a Schengen-related petition against Austria, while also noting that he has moved to the Renew political group.
In the final part of his remarks, Luis Lazarus linked several recent political events, suggesting that we are witnessing a well-orchestrated plan behind the scenes, closely tied to the diaspora votes and the moves by leaders in Bucharest and Chișinău.
“There are some things that are starting to make sense to me. Did you see Sebastian Ghiță’s message from last week? About Moldova, Maia Sandu, Nicușor Dan, and the union between Romania and Moldova. Now Mr. Nicușor Dan comes along and wants to nominate Mr. Tomac as prime minister. And just today we learn that Maia Sandu is restoring Traian Băsescu’s citizenship. I mean, after all, Mr. Ghiță also has a connection to Băsescu—let’s not forget that. Could this be a conspiracy? What is being planned? Elena Udrea’s confession… Don’t forget that she was initially the party leader; Mr. Tomac came along only later. Why are these things connecting?”
Lazarus also drew attention to the electoral strategy behind the success of the current mayor of Bucharest, Nicușor Dan, questioning the logistics behind massive events dedicated to the diaspora:
“Let’s not forget that Nicușor Dan received a very large number of votes from Moldovans. They organized an event that cost billions in Romania in 2024, no more than two months before the elections, around March–April. They brought them in from all over, put them up in hotels, gave them food and drink, held some kind of conference… with around 1,200–1,500 people. Among them, more than 700–800 were Moldovans. I mean, out of the entire Romanian diaspora, you gather 700–800 people, and you bring in just as many more from Moldova alone! So the intention was clear. “Did you see the contract announced yesterday by the Presidential Administration?” concluded Luis-Vicențiu Lazarus (NI), an independent member of the European Parliament, leaving open the question regarding the behind-the-scenes maneuvering surrounding Cotroceni.
