Romania's electoral chaos: Constitutional court canceled the presidential election!

Rumänien - Drama in Romania! The Supreme Court canceled the results of the first round of the presidential elections and demands a repetition of the entire election process. The reason is serious allegations of a coordinated campaign in Russia that is said to have favored the right -wing extremist candidate Calin Georgescu. This scandalous step follows the revelations of President Klaus Iohannis, who published secret information about "aggressive hybrid hybrid Russian attacks" during the election time.

The decision of the Constitutional Court fell on Friday and is final. The judges said that the cancellation was necessary to ensure the "correctness and legality" of the election process. Georgescu, who is considered a political outsider and has not given any election campaign costs, emerged in the first round on November 24th. He stands for a pro-Russian agenda and wants to end Romania's support for Ukraine. Originally, he was supposed to go into the runoff election against the pro-European candidate Elena Lasconi on Sunday.

Russian interference in the focus

The allegations of Russian influence are alarming: Thousands of social media accounts are said to have supported Georgescu on platforms such as TikTok and Telegram. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu described the court's judgment as "the only right decision" after the published secret documents show the alleged Russian machinations. The information comes from various Romanian secret services and the Ministry of the Interior.

Now Romania is faced with the challenge of restarting the first round of the election. The constitutional court has already announced that the government will set a new appointment and a schedule for the necessary steps. The political landscape of Romania is on the brink, and the coming days could be decisive for the future of the country!
