On Wednesday, Senator Diana Soșoacă issued serious threats from the rostrum of the Parliament, if she will no longer be allowed to speak: “If you don’t let me speak, I’ll scream, if you don’t let me scream, I’ll whistle, if you don’t let me let me whistle, I will ring the bell. And if you also destroy our bells, I will set you on fire, because the devils deserve nothing but the fire of hell.”

Sosoacă sent this message to the “parliamentarians who established the dictatorship in the Parliament”, after the senators and deputies voted on Tuesday, in a joint plenary session, new amendments to the regulation aimed at the activity of the parliamentarians, through which new sanctions were established for elected officials who make a scandal at the joint meetings of the two Chambers.
On Wednesday, from the rostrum of the Parliament, Diana Şoșoacă had a new slip-up, issuing threats:
“If you won’t let me talk I’ll scream, if you won’t let me scream I’ll whistle, if you won’t let me whistle I’ll ring the bell. And if you destroy us with the bell, I will set you on fire, because the devils deserve nothing but the fire of hell”.
(From minute 22)
“Yesterday, in the joint plenary session of the two chambers of the Parliament, the 3rd anti-Soșoaca law was voted, which puts a fist in the mouth of democracy. Yesterday was a day of mourning in Romania, the fundamental right of expression and opinion was abolished. If anyone thinks I will be silenced by the lie, they are sorely mistaken. You can take everything, and my life, if you want, but I will still shout the truth from the top of my lungs, because it is the only one that will set us free! Beware, dear sub-mediocre parliamentarians, why run away from a woman who shouts the truth to you and shows you what you are: “some famous people, it’s a shame for humanity to call you people!”, everything you vote now and ban the opposition, will come back like a boomerang against you, because you will end up being the opposition in a country led by people with respect and love of the country and then we will apply “to the blood” the legislation adopted by you against the entire Romanian people, so that you can see what the dictatorship of your own laws means. Following my opposition, yesterday you understood that we have the right to express ourselves, even more than 10 seconds. Attention, that the 10 seconds you give us to the opposition, may constitute your last seconds of life…politics!”, Diana Șoșoacă continued.

The notification is addressed to the president of the respective Chamber, within no more than 30 days from the date of the act”, the regulation also provides.
“Only God stops me”
The new amendments to the regulation and sanctions were introduced following the repeated scandals that the non-affiliated senator Diana Şoșoacă, as well as some of the AUR MPs, caused from the plenary gallery or in the halls of the Parliament.
“I want to tell you one thing: only God can stop me, and you will be stopped by the Romanian people whom you have brought to your knees. I can’t wait for you to be sanctioned for all the physical and verbal abuse I suffered!”, said Diana Şoşoacă, on Tuesday, after the modification of the regulations.
On Monday, in the Parliament session in which the deputies and senators adopted the elimination of the special pensions of the parliamentarians, Diana Șoșoacă caused a scandal throughout the plenary session, whistling and shouting, in an attempt to stop the debates: “Special pensions are a lie, it’s unconstitutional!” .
The senator came to the plenary session with a whistle, which she used throughout the debates, she also brought a bell to interrupt the session president, Alfred Simonis (PSD). “To the hinge! (…) Leave the circus in the hall, don’t intimidate us”, replied Simonis.
After the plenary session, Șoșoacă continued the scandal in the hallway, where he went after PSD leader Marcel Ciolacu. She interrupted him while he was making statements, called him a “dictator”, “rude” and “traitor to the nation and the country”. In response, Ciolacu called her an “ordinary liar”.
