Sandu Negrea asked which politician had managed to bring people out into the street for days on end, in the country and in the diaspora, while being in prison, and answered that he did not know any. He claimed that the Western world had learned that Romania was abusing democracy through Romanians. Negrea questioned the judgment capacity of political leaders and state authorities and stated that the cancellation of the elections had been unnecessary. He predicted that a "steamroller" was about to fall upon them and criticized them for having turned Călin Georgescu into a symbol and almost a martyr, even though he was still alive. The post ended with the name Crina Dobre. #România #democrație #proteste (translated)

Bally Bagayoko described Jean-Luc Mélenchon's meeting at the Zénith of Clermont-Ferrand as a strong mobilization, stating that it gathered more than 10,000 participants, with a full hall and people still outside. He estimated that the momentum of his movement was gaining traction, while the socialist primary was coming to an end and arousing little interest. Bagayoko presented this movement as the only one capable of defeating the far right and Macron's camp. He also stated that no other movement or candidate for the 2027 presidential election was claiming a mobilization of this magnitude at that time.
