2025-2026: disputed expulsions from POT and a former MP’s accusations over contributions

Allegations

Several MPs expelled from POT challenged the leadership’s decisions; on 12 December 2025 a court annulled the expulsion of MP Monica Ionescu for failure to follow internal procedures. In February 2026 former MP Radu Ionescu accused Gavrilă of demanding 8,000 lei a month from some elected members and of covering for fictitious contracts or jobs. No criminal proceedings target her over these matters.

State of the evidence: These are attributed claims by a former member, not judicial findings.
Legal status — source text: Monica Ionescu’s expulsion annulled by a court (ruling against the party); contribution allegations not examined by any court.
Attribution: Allegedly demanding party contributions and involvement in fictitious contracts.

No legal proceedings

In December 2024 Gavrilă pushed aside journalists and their microphones in the corridors of Parliament.

In April 2025 she accused journalists of filming her in the toilets, without any published evidence, and in May she told them they were “about to disappear”.

State of the evidence: Filmed scenes and reports by Digi24, ProTV, Radio România Actualități, TVR Info and Europa Liberă.
Legal status — source text: No proceedings over these incidents; a police warning about misuse of 112, according to the press.
