Bucharest Tribunal on Friday dismissed as unfounded a complaint against the negative permit for a rally supporting former presidential candidate Călin Georgescu, planned for Saturday in Izvor Park, Radio Romania reports citing Agerpres.

The ruling can be appealed within 15 days of notification. Cătălin Marius Seimeanu, Laurențiu Claudiu Constantin and Florin Mihai Jereb challenged the City Hall public-assembly commission’s decision.

Before the ruling, AUR leader George Simion said the party gave legal advice to the challengers and that he would join protesters at 14:00, asking police for protection.

Mayor Ciprian Ciucu had said Thursday he was unaware of an AUR-named request and that permitting rests with the risk-assessment commission.

Bucharest Gendarmerie flagged public-order risks, including the Romania–Poland match the same day, with about 3,000 Polish fans expected downtown.

In Dublin, President Nicușor Dan rejected Simion’s claim that he intervened to stop the rally: “Obviously I did not intervene.”

The court decision for now keeps the permit refusal for the Izvor Park protest.
