Prosecutor’s Office Launches Investigation Following Legionary Propaganda by Diana Șoșoacă

The General Prosecutor’s Office reported itself in the case of the legionary propaganda made by Diana Șoșoacă, according to Digi24.ro sources. For promoting such messages, Șoșoacă risks imprisonment from three months to three years and the prohibition of certain rights.

Against the background of the scandal related to the ban on presidential candidacy, Șoșoacă intervened live on the YouTube page of party colleague Luis Lazarus and paid tribute to the former head of the Legionary Movement from the interwar period.

The president of SOS Romania, Diana Șoșoacă, paid tribute to former legionnaire leader Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and called for anti-Semitism, after the Constitutional Court blocked his candidacy in the presidential elections.

“From this moment, it is over with Romania, there is no more state, there is nothing. All I can say is long live the Legion and the Captain who were killed by the same Jewish power that was at work now. Shame on everyone”, is a statement by Diana Soșoacă, taken from the cited video clip, which lasted 6 hours.

“I am with the Khazars, with the Jews who make fun of the Romanians, as I am with the Germans, the Ukrainians who make fun of Romania.” “It is not normal for you, Israel, to come with you Jews and impose the history of the Jews. What, we Jews, to learn your history? Well, go to Israel, Oh, excuse me, that’s not your country, it’s Palestine’s!”, these are just some of Diana Sosoaca’s anti-Semitic statements.

It is not the first time that Diana Sosoacă makes legionary propaganda. In May 2024, Diana Şoșoacă used a solemn session dedicated by the Parliament to friendly relations with Israel and shouted from the lectern “Long live the Guard!” (n.r. Iron Guard, anti-Semitic movement, among others, founded by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and later transformed into the Legionary Movement)”.

In February 2024, the Elie Wiesel Institute notified the Prosecutor’s Office after Şoșoacă’s party issued a press release, signed by the MEP, in which he quoted the verses of a legionnaire poet – Radu Gyr.

About the anti-Semitic statements and legionary propaganda made by Diana Șoșoacă, Adina Marincea, researcher at the Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania, told Digi24.ro that “it is not an escape” on the part of the MEP.

Romania prohibited, by law, “the promotion of persons guilty of genocide and war crimes, as well as the promotion of fascist, legionary, racist or xenophobic ideas, conceptions or doctrines”.

Those who promote, however, such persons guilty of genocide or legionary doctrines risk imprisonment from three months to three years and the prohibition of certain rights.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed by the Romanian authorities in the period 1937-1943, a period that remained in history as the Romanian Holocaust, part of the European Holocaust initiated by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler.
