Sabrina F. wrote that defending fundamental rights should not be defined as racism and distinguished her critique of a model of society from hostility towards a religion. She argued that in that model, the law would be subordinate to a sacred text, that changing faith or loving a person of the same sex could lead to severe penalties, and that in 2026, in ten states, the death penalty could be at risk for the latter reason. She also cited marriages with girls aged 9 and restrictions imposed on women, including beatings by moral police for the veil. According to Sabrina F., the separation between religion and law and equality before the law were principles enshrined in the Constitution. She criticized what she described as a selective silence on the rights of LGBTQ+ people and women: she wrote that in half of the planet, rainbow flags could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty and recalled the case of a twenty-year-old beaten by the moral police for the veil. She added that in too many countries opening a church could lead to prison and argued that accepting laws applied differently in the same society was neither inclusion nor openness. #DirittiUmani #LibertàDiCredo #GiustiziaSociale (translated)

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)
