Romania's constitutional court on Friday canceled the country's presidential election following allegations of Russian interference in favour of the far-right frontrunner, just two days ahead of the run-off.
Georgescu, a former senior civil servant, had been due to face centrist mayor Elena Lasconi in Sunday's runoff.
"It is basically a formalised coup d'etat... Our democracy is under attack," Georgescu, 62, said in a video message, calling on Romanians to "remain faithful to our common ideal.
"They will not be able to stop me. And they cannot stop the Romanian people from what they want to change," he told local media.
Lasconi, a former journalist, 52, also called the court's decision "illegal, immoral... crushing the very essence of democracy".
Fears had been raised that if Georgescu won, the country -- whose strategic importance has increased since Moscow invaded Ukraine -- would join the EU's far-right bloc and undermine European unity against Russia.

Friday's decision to cancel the elections is "an unprecedented and historic decision", political analyst Costin Ciobanu told AFP.
It "deepens uncertainty and polarization within Romanian society, raising serious concerns about the strength of Romania's institutions and democracy", he added.

They won’t let us vote our way out of their satanic globalist hell
European “Democracy” is a joke.
Probably more than any other example, this decision in Romania shows that the Neocon capture of Eastern Europe is NO DIFFERENT than the Soviet capture of Eastern Europe in the prior century. Both are DESPOTS.
You make an astute and accurate observation.
victoria nuland color revolution
again.
or maybe its the foul crapy smell of
adam shifty’s fiction of

or maybe both
It’s Both.
They better get out in the street.
Russia, Russia, Russia worked like a charm on the American Donald Trump and his followers. Let’s see if it works on the Romanian Donald Trump and his movement.
“You make an astute and accurate observation.”
Thanks, and the only step left for Neocons is to send NATO to forcibly drive Orban from power in Hungary, since Hungarians did not vote for the approved candidate.
Unlike here their court addresses election fraud.
No “no standing.”
The Constitutional Court in the European Union (EU) and NATO member state Romania has canceled its presidential elections just days before a scheduled vote, claiming a Russian interference campaign is the reason a pro-Trump candidate populist was the favorite to win the race.Romanian judges annulled the second round of the presidential elections as polls suggested populist, NATO-critical candidate Călin Georgescu, who won a surprise victory in the election’s first round, was likely to win Sunday’s vote. According to the court, Georgescu benefits from an influence campaign on social media platforms like TikTok, similar to some run by the Russian government.
The move comes after Romanian intelligence information was declassified by the government, claiming that Russia was trying to manipulate the outcome of the election. Georgescu, who is pro-Trump, pro-life, and opposed to escalating the Western proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, was set to face pro-EU globalist Elena Lasconi on Sunday.Over the past year, European governments have consistently attempted to blame Russian interference campaigns for the rise of populists across Europe, shutting down alternative media in the Czech Republic ahead of the European Parliament elections, for example.Russian interference has been blamed for the rise of populism in the United States and the United Kindom for years. However, the infamous Russia hoax accusations against President Donald J. Trump and the allegations of extensive Russian interference in the Brexit referendum in 2016 all proved to be false.
From the National Pulse.
It’s funny how Russians always seem to interfere on behalf of nationalists and against globalists.
It’s almost as if they favor other countries preserving their unique cultures, if these nonsense allegations are to be believed.
This is what the communist neocons in this country want for us. If the Supreme Court had been controlled by leftist judges this would’ve happened here in America this election.
To the neocons in this forum there is no hell deep enough for you.
Gee that was simple enough!
Russia was interfering, which is why the opposition was winning. Therefore, the election is cancelled. Nice.
I like the way they say "Romania cancelled its Presidential election," not "Romania's ruling party cancelled the election."
Romania did it. Of course. As it should have. Uh huh.
Oh! Well, sure!
"Aggressive hybrid action" reminds me of "a bomb storm," or "a polar vortex," for some reason.
Romanians need to passively resist this. Just like the did to Ceaucescu
All around the world, wherever you go, “Our Democracy” is a wonderful thing — as long as “Our Side” always wins. As soon as the local Nationalist starts winning, that’s when you know that Russia is up to no good and you have to stop The People from voting, and you need to cancel elections. It’s the only way to save “Our Democracy”.
Time to impose some new “Romanian Term Limits”.
