Today Kostadin Kostadinov returned from Romania, where he delivered a speech at the rally in support of Calin Georgescu. Hundreds of thousands of Romanians gathered yesterday in the center of Bucharest, in support of democracy and protesting against the arrest of Georgescu.
"Yesterday I had the honor to speak in front of 100,000 free Romanians, who came out to defend the future president of Romania, Calin Georgescu, from the repressions of the authorities. The support of “Vazrazhdane” for our Romanian friends is complete.
We will support freedom and democracy wherever it is under threat, but first of all we must liberate our own country from the regime of the vile Borisov and Peevski. And we will not stop fighting until we liberate Bulgaria!”, Kostadinov wrote on the social network Facebook after his return and shared a photo in which he shakes hands with Kalin Georgescu.
Yesterday, Kostadinov's speech caused a stormy ovation among the protesters. Here is what Kostadinov said to the gathered crowd.
Bună ziua, România liberă! (translated from Romanian: Hello, free Romania!)
I want to thank Gheorghe Simeon for inviting me to come today and support Kalin Georgescu. I am impressed by what I see, because I see a people fighting for their freedom. I am happy that I am here today to welcome the future President of Romania, Calin Georgescu.
Victorie pentru Georgescu! (Translated from Romanian: Victory for Georgescu!)
It is not the first time that Romania has set an example for the whole of Europe of how a people fights for their freedom. Today you are fighting for the freedom and democracy of the whole of Europe, because the arrests are not only in Romania. They are arresting in Bulgaria, they are arresting in Greece, they are arresting in Romania, they are arresting all over Europe, because someone is afraid of freedom.
Libertate, libertate, libertate! (Translated from Romanian: Freedom, freedom, freedom!)
Two days ago, the Bulgarian prosecutor's office requested the arrest of two deputies from the “Vazrazhdane” party. Do you know why, Romanian brothers? Because we want to hold a referendum to preserve the Bulgarian lev, our currency. Our rulers banned the referendum, banned freedom and banned democracy in Bulgaria. In the same way that the rulers in Romania want to ban freedom and democracy in Romania. But we will not surrender, neither in Bulgaria nor in Romania.
Libertate, libertate, libertate! (Translated from Romanian: Freedom, freedom, freedom!)
I see a free people fighting for their freedom. Will we surrender?
Today, Calin Georgescu is a fighter for freedom, for democracy throughout Europe, I am here to say that we from Bulgaria support him.
Georgescu presedinet, Georgescu presedinet, Georgescu presedinet! (Translation: Georgescu, President!)
Justice and God are on your side, so you will win.
Victorie pentru Georgescu! Victorie pentru România! (Translated from Romanian: Victory for Georgescu! Victory for Romania!)
