They've got it all wrong!

Re: my expo in Cluj. This is what the press release from Carturesti says:

"The Cluj/Carturesti bookshop presents - Space and time in Cambodia: A researcher at the Romanian Space Agency, with an unusual protest against the American enriched by selling Lunar plots, will exchibit, at the Iulius Mall - Cluj, Carturesti Bookshop, photos ... from Cambodia".

Clujeanul (http://www.clujeanul.ro/cultura-timp-liber/fotografii-din-cambodgia-vor-fi-expuse-la-carturesti-2938875) understands the difference between the two issues: "The author of the images is Virgiliu Pop, researcher at the Romanian Space Agency, known especially for his protest against the American who sold plots on the Moon. This time, the astronomer Virgiliu Pop turns into an observer of the Cambodian reality".

OK, they made me an astronomer, which I am not. Meanwhile...

Cartepremium.ro (http://www.cartepremium.ro/noutati/136/In-Cambodgia-se-moare-pe-Luna-se-cumpara.html) reads: "A researcher from the Romanian Space Agency will exchibit photos at the Carturesti bookshop in Iulius Mall, Cluj Napoca, as an unusual protest against the American enriched by selling Lunar plots."

CityNews (http://www.citynews.ro/Protest-in-fotografii-la-libraria-Carturesti+16003) says: :"The artist displays photos from Cambodia as a protest against the American enriched from selling Moon plots"

Once and for all: Yes, I am known for my protest against Dennis Hope. But the photo exchibition is not against Dennis Hope. If it needs to be a protest, it is against the Khmer Rouge, who killed innocent people - and not against the "Lunar Embassy".
