The “P\u0103m\u00e2ntul Str\u0103mo\u0219esc” Association, founded by former presidential candidate C\u0103lin Georgescu<\/strong> and several others, announced on Friday, June 6, that it will dissolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The association, named after a Legionary magazine that circulated during the interwar period, was established in 2021 by C\u0103lin Georgescu, along with a former AUR parliamentary candidate and former officer of the army’s secret service, Bogdan Vacusta, as revealed in an official document received by Digi24<\/a> from the Ministry of Justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among the association\u2019s objectives are several concepts, including \u201cthe dissemination of knowledge related to the distributist theory and practice\u201d or \u201cthe dissemination of knowledge related to alternative socio-economic models (peer to peer, open source, blockchain).\u201d Ostensibly, the P\u0103m\u00e2ntul Str\u0103mo\u0219esc Association claimed to promote \u201csmall producers\u201d and \u201cnational identity.\u201d In reality, the organization simply promoted C\u0103lin Georgescu.<\/p>\n

The announcement regarding the dissolution was made on the association\u2019s official Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, as we lay down with peace the decision to dissolve, we are not extinguishing a flame, but entrusting it to you. The association is closing as an administrative and legal form, but its spirit remains alive in those who understood and felt it,\u201d the message reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The association also mentioned that the spirit behind it “may sprout under other names, perhaps in other places\u201d to protect Romania\u2019s \u201cnational soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February, the association’s headquarters was searched by prosecutors in connection to the case against C\u0103lin Georgescu. The politician, who retired from public life<\/a> in May, is being investigated for six offenses, the most serious of which is incitement to actions against the constitutional order.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aside from Georgescu, two other founders reportedly have direct ties to Russia or far-right movements.<\/p>\n

Bogdan Vacusta worked at the General Directorate of Defense Intelligence between 2002 and 2015, and was the association’s \u201cdevelopment director.\u201d Currently, his name appears on several articles about cryptocurrencies. He also reportedly participated in several conferences in the Russian Federation over the years.<\/p>\n

Another founder of the association, Ovidiu Hurduzeu, praised C\u0103lin Georgescu in 2019 for being a defender of \u201cdistributist economic doctrine,\u201d which he tied to the interwar-era far-right legionaries. According to press reports, he is portrayed positively by Sputnik, the main propaganda outlet of the Russian Federation in Romania. Hurduzeu also expressed concern for Putin\u2019s fate during the protests following the arrest of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.<\/p>\n
