Călin Georgescu made his first public political visit to Sibiu County on August 29, 2026, traveling to the farmers market in Cisnădie where he delivered a speech from a truck platform and greeted supporters, according to local reporting by Turnul Sfatului. The unannounced visit drew a modest crowd of local residents, though it was bolstered by supporters transported from other regions carrying telescopic flags and wearing traditional clothing.
Unannounced Visit to Cisnădie Market Draws Outside Supporters
The unannounced appearance in Cisnădie marked Georgescu’s debut political event in Sibiu County since his name gained widespread attention following the annulled elections and ongoing legal proceedings regarding charges of attempted coup d’état and legionarism, as reported by Turnul Sfatului. Local residents did not turn out in large numbers. Instead, the active participants were primarily supporters who traveled from outside the county. Many wore the slogan “Hrană. Apă. Energie” (Food. Water. Energy) and carried flags on telescopic poles.
