Romania’s General Prosecutor’s Office questioned AUR MP Dan Tanasă over Facebook posts in which he urged Romanians to boycott immigrant workers. Judicial sources said the investigation concerns allegations of incitement to violence, hatred or discrimination against certain groups of people.

Following the hearing, George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), responded online, accusing the authorities of launching politically motivated attacks against his party, which is in opposition in the Romanian Parliament.

The case stems from a Facebook post in which Dan Tanasă called on Romanians to refuse deliveries made by foreign workers. Last year, several violent and xenophobic incidents targeted foreign delivery couriers, with some being physically assaulted or robbed while carrying out deliveries.
