No official announcement yet, but multiple outlets reporting it. Voting in the 2nd round is already underway for the diaspora
Man, what the fuck is happening with the world these days.
genuinely, now what?
Seems fair. Kudos to the judicial system in Romania.
With this move, all they’re doing is turning Georgescu into a martyr, and his supporters will become even more emboldened.
Even if they impose a ban on Georgescu running for elections, the void he leaves will be filled by someone even more extreme.
It’s a slippery slope.
I already voted in the second round lol
A very good thing. r/Romania is revolting but I say fuck that noise.
Hope the traitorous scum of Gigescu and his team get jailed and fuck off from the public eye for the next 50 years.
Unprecedented events.
This is a bit scary to me honestly, already seeing a lot of propaganda on social media about “they are trying to take him (Georgescu) down” and such.
They know how to spin this and it will probably work
I really hope this won‘t backfire..
Cool, now do America.
Slavă Domnului! It’s time to put our shit together once it for all. Let’s hope the georgists nutfucks aren’t going to protest in the streets.
Now, the process will start again with setting dates, candidates will have to apply and be approved again and all that. So hopefully, russian-paid candidates will not be allowed to canditate again and democracy will not be under duress.
It’s the correct decision, given the fact that russian involvement was basically confirmed. It was an attack on the country.
Europe has a chance to destroy Russia economy and force changes but will they?. I agree with this since its clear signs election being affected by foreign governments aka Russia.
PSD wins in the end.
In the repeat elections Georgescu will be barred from competing, Simion and a PSD candidate will make the 2nd round probably, and PSD will win.
I’m glad Georgescu is gone though. They are the lesser evil.
oh wow the courts actually did something about the onslaught of propaganda efforts of the kremlin.
this is huge, no?
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?????
We shouldn’t have killed that ape in 2016 man…
This is bad but it could have been worse, the polls were showing a 50%-50% result which was honestly too risky considering polls were not reliable lately due to people not admitting to voting for the pro-Russian guy. We are screwed since these people are not going away and who knows who they will vote for in the future.
Martyr or not, one cannot allow an election to continue when deliberate interference actions have been proven. This too is democratic.
We will deal with the fallout.
Romania based
Man this Russia 🇷🇺 country is becoming really dangerous and must be addressed quickly. Italy 🇮🇹
I keep wondering how many of these russian disinformation campaigns went totally undetected, in not so recent times, and changed the outcome of crucial political and social events without us even realizing.
as a romanian, I did not expect to find this in my december advent calendar.
I was expecting to hear more crazy shit that georgescu was saying.
Carl Schmitt is eating good with his theories that “””liberal democracy””” really is just a more effective tyranny because it pretends not to be.
Doing this without putting forward any evidence of foreign interference is literally banana Republic shit. If he wins the election he would be more than right to imprison everyone involved for a long time
