A Swiss think tank has reported that U.S. intelligence agencies, allegedly acting under the directives of the Trump administration, are investigating former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and his assistant James O’Brien for purportedly pressuring Romanian authorities to annul the country’s presidential election results.
According to the report, Blinken—an arch-neocon and influential figure in America’s globalist, interventionist foreign policy establishment—collaborated with former Romanian Foreign Minister Luminița Odobescu to pressure officials in Bucharest into annulling Călin Georgescu’s first-round presidential victory, thereby ensuring Romania remained aligned with pro-NATO and globalist interests.
The Diplomatic Affairs, a Geneva-based think tank focused on assessing global geopolitical developments, told The Gateway Pundit that its report is based on information they received from a source within the U.S. intelligence community.
The allegations raise serious concerns about the extent of foreign interference, particularly from the Biden administration, in Romania’s domestic politics. The Swiss think tank’s report suggests that Blinken and his associates actively lobbied key Romanian figures, including former President Klaus Iohannis and Acting Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, to invalidate the election under the pretext of Russian interference.
The report, if true, lends support to statements made last month by Richard Grenell, former Special Envoy under Trump, who asserted that it was Biden, not Russia, that interfered in Romania’s recent election.
Romania, a southeastern EU member state long plagued by endemic corruption, was thrust into political turmoil last December when its Constitutional Court annulled the surprise first-round victory of Călin Georgescu, an anti-establishment candidate critical of NATO.
The court justified its unprecedented decision—denounced by critics as a democracy-killing coup d’état—by citing alleged ‘Russian interference’ and claiming that front-runner Călin Georgescu had benefited from Moscow’s online influence operations. However, critics contend that no concrete evidence has been presented to substantiate these allegations, further deepening public skepticism and fueling political unrest.
Călin Georgescu, before being banned by Romania’s election committee from participating in the re-run of the first-round presidential elections, was leading with over 45% of the vote, according to polls. The same polls placed the second-place candidate, Crin Antonescu, at just 20%.

Romanian citizens, fed up with decades of political corruption at the highest levels, are now questioning whether their nation’s sovereignty has been compromised.
Massive protests have erupted in major cities, with demonstrators demanding transparency and the reinstatement of the electoral process. Georgescu’s supporters argue that the annulment of his victory represents an assault on democracy, engineered by external forces seeking to maintain control over Romania’s geopolitical stance.

We demand the resumption of the second round of elections, an end to arrests and political persecution, and no more EU and NATO interference!

The think-tank writes:
The interim leadership under Ilie Bolojan is struggling to maintain control as the government appears frozen, unable to navigate the turbulent waters of political strife. Public confidence in the political class is at an all-time low, with widespread calls for the resumption of the electoral process. Yet, the path forward remains unclear.”
Economically, Romania is beginning to feel the tremors of this instability. Investor confidence is waning, and early signs of an economic downturn are emerging. The specter of political unrest looms large, threatening to derail progress and development in the region.
The broader geopolitical implications of Romania’s increasingly unstable domestic situation cannot be ignored. As a key member of both NATO and the EU, any instability within Romania reverberates throughout Europe.
Romania finds itself at a crossroads, with its democratic integrity hanging in the balance. Whether the nation can weather this storm and restore trust in its political system remains an open question—one with significant implications for the future of Eastern Europe.
The Diplomatic Affairs think tank has organized the Eastern Europe Peace Forum, which is set to take place in May at the People’s House, also known as the Palace of the Parliament, in Bucharest. Originally scheduled for early April, the event has been postponed to May.
According to Romanian media reports, both Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson are expected to attend the conference.
Romania is the impetus for globalists to ignite World War III.
Ask General Flynn.
“Swiss Think-Tank: US Intel Investigating Anthony Blinken For Potential Involvement in Romania’s Globalist Coup”
If true, this is JAIL TIME for Blinken and any other American involved with him.
Trump has a leak.
Fill Gitmo with the whole Biden/Obama clan.
Good. That guy is a sleaze ball.
Quite apart from dealing with anti-democracy American figures, we should be sanctioning EU leaders who have had a hand in this and similar actions. It would be good to see sanctions against Macron until the French end their crusade against Pavel Durov for example, and against English politicians who support arresting thousands of people for free speech and quietly praying and such.
Nuland told Blinken to do it. Blinken couldn’t tie his shoe laces without permission from Victoria, and she got her orders from Obama.
Here's a picture of Antony Blinken after giving an award to the leader of the Russian "punk rock" group "Pussy Riot."
You know, just because. There's no connection between them and the US Govt, or anything....

But, but, but he plays guitar?
I agree with your analysis.
He’s lawyering up now to taste rightful lawfare!
It’s going to cost and hurt!
“Trump has a leak.”
Yeah, someone cracked and spilled the beans.
Probably, a lot of beans.
I said it, send the invaders to el Salvador and open Gitmo to our crime syndicate
This is why Georgescu is persecuted.
Romania’s independent presidential candidate Calin Georgescu believes that the Mihail Kogalniceanu military base in the country, which will become the largest NATO defense facility in Europe, will be used against Russia.
“We cannot accept this,” he said in an interview with former US Navy Seal Shawn Ryan. Georgescu posted a video of the conversation on Facebook.
“What is happening now in Romania gains no reaction abroad, no reaction from the United States. They don’t understand what is going on here, because if they use Romania as a door for a war, what to be next? We don’t need war; this is my point,” Georgescu said, TASS reported.
“What will the implications [be] <...> if the NATO base is going to be constructive to conduct a major offensive into Russia?” Ryan asked.
“Exactly this word - ‘offensive,’ which is a wrong way. And we cannot accept this, <…> because this is not our business, not our war, again,” responded Georgescu.
This is not the first time that Georgescu has hypothesized a war against Russia that would be launched from Romania.
>>>>This is why Georgescu is persecuted.<<<<
I watched Shawn Ryan interview Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. They discussed the new NATO base in Romania.
Mike talked about Georgescu saying that the Romanian people now have a target on their backs because of the base being located in their country.
I seems like a Romanian jail might be a better fit.
Alongside the forcible shutdown of the CIA mass media.
