Summary
Romania’s electoral commission barred far-right candidate Calin Georgescu from the presidential election without explanation.
Georgescu, who led polls with 40%, called the move “a direct blow to democracy” and plans to appeal. His supporters protested in Bucharest.
The constitutional court annulled his prior election win over alleged Russian interference, which he denies. He faces legal issues, including accusations of financing violations and extremist ties.
A vocal Trump supporter, Georgescu received backing from Trump officials, including Elon Musk and JD Vance, who condemned Romania’s actions.
Paradox of tolerance. Don’t fall for it. Fascists do not now, and will never, get the benefit of the doubt.
Sigh… I really don’t like the way things have been going in Europe…
Hey man, I know it’s kinda crazy. But overall, it’s better than what’s happening over here in the states.
He was talking more about the will of the people, but okay.
Your feelings are more important.
There hasn’t been any will of the people expressed yet. The guy is a Russian asset with zero spine and he’s been eliminated from the race. The people will get to express their will with the other candidates, of which they’ll have many.
More lies from the left.
In the last election, 11.77% of people voted for him(23% of voters). That is more than any other candidate though
Left or right has nothing to do with it. The guy is a spineless corrupt Russian agent and the justice system is doing its’ job unlike recent examples of other countries.
Fascist apologist says what?
