AUR's George Simion: I'll donate 90 pct of my MP salary

The Member of Parliament, Deputy George Simion, co-Chair of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) on Thursday said he will donate 90 per cent of his MP salary "to a civic cause, to special cases".

"I want to make an announcement, an announcement that I did not make in the election campaign, because it would have been misinterpreted (...). I am an MP in the Romanian Parliament. I have not forgotten who I am, I have not forgotten what we have to do and that is why I am going to donate 90 per cent of my salary to a civic cause, to special cases, month after month (...). The scoundrels will start with all kind of issues, as they usually begin. How and what am I going to live from, next year I will write another book, I have the other books, too, I still have copies of them," Simion said in a video message sent on Facebook.
