Călin Georgescu and the Question of Flowers: A Romanian Moment on Realități with Niculescu
In the podcast Realități cu Niculescu, Călin Georgescu made a statement that stayed with me: “I never understood why a woman is given flowers.” For many, the sentence sounded controversial. For me, it sounded like a question about meaning.
Because gestures repeated without awareness lose their substance. A flower offered mechanically becomes routine. A flower offered consciously becomes recognition. Georgescu’s remark did not reject the gesture — it challenged the emptiness that appears when symbols are disconnected from intention.
This conversation happened at a critical moment for Romania. Following the annulment of the elections, many citizens felt something deeper than political frustration: a sense that their voice no longer mattered. When voting is suspended, people don’t just lose a process — they lose trust.
That moment pushed me to take a public stance.
I chose to defend voting freedom in Romania and to support Călin Georgescu not because I agree with everything he says, but because he speaks about responsibility, sovereignty, and dignity when these values are under pressure. My support is not ideological — it is conscious.
I also resonate with certain ideas expressed by Charlie Kirk, especially the principle that fundamental rights should not depend entirely on institutional permission. Whether in Romania or elsewhere, free voting and free expression are measures of a society’s health.
I chose to attach a positive human energy to this political position. Not to soften reality, but to balance it. Politics driven only by fear and anger drains people. Conscious gestures remind us why rights matter in the first place.

And why, in Romania, defending the right to vote is not extremism — it is responsibility.
Without free voting, democracy is only a word.
