\"\"Holograf, one of the most popular rock bands in Romania, is in the middle of a local scandal after its lead singer\u00a0Dan Bittman<\/strong>\u00a0acted as a host at a recent event organized by the City Hall of Bucharest\u2019s District 5.<\/p>\n

The mayor of District 5 is Daniel Florea, a member of the ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD). Earlier this week, he organized an event marking \u201c50 years of District 5,\u201d which included an artistic program that was hosted by Dan Bittman.<\/p>\n

During the event, Bittman praised the mayor\u2019s work in District 5, according to local\u00a0Recorder.ro<\/a>. This triggered a wave of criticism in social media, including on the artist\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, September 20, Holograf posted on its Facebook page a message in which they said that they are not playing for money \u201cbut to be with people who enjoy our music, people with whom we share the same values.\u201d They also announced that they would donate EUR 11,000 to local NGO Daruieste Viata, which is building the first radiotherapy and pediatric oncology hospital in Romania. However, the NGO later announced that it refused the donation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need money to build the hospital for children suffering from cancer, but we can not accept this project, made with the involvement of over 150,000 people, to be in the center of a media scandal and become a tool for resolving image crises. We told Holograf’s representative that the EUR 11,000 that he wants to donate should go back to District 5, a district in which several NGOs dealing with underprivileged children work,\u201d reads the NGO\u2019s message.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, two other Romanian bands decided to no longer participate in a music event organized by the Bucharest City Hall. The festival, named Centenar Fest, is scheduled to take place at Arena Nationala at the end of this month, with popular artists and bands in the lineup. However, Suie Paparude and Trooper said they would no longer perform at the event after finding out that it is organized by the City Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were contacted by wonderful people who want to make a beautiful concert! We talked and we were told that no city hall is involved in this event. The poster appeared today, with the logo of ARCUB and Bucharest City Hall. We decided to withdraw from this event,\u201d Trooper announced on their Facebook page.<\/p>\n
