Romanian authorities have announced that the liberal mayor of Bucharest, mathematician Nicușor Dan has won the second and final round of the deeply controversial Romanian presidential elections.
With the first round of vote cancelled; with favorite candidate Călin Georgescu arrested, prosecuted and banned from the re-election; with widespread allegations of fraud and foreign interference by France – this election is forever tainted.
Right-wing populist George Simion, who won the first round of the election ‘re-do’ with over 20 percentage point ahead of Dan, warned of fraud, and posted on X that he was the new president of Romania.
But the official results state: Nicușor Dan is the new president-elect.
Reuters reported:
“The soft-spoken mathematician made a last-minute dash to the top in recent days after weeks of trailing George Simion, a hard-right supporter of Trump and a Eurosceptic wanting to end military aid for Ukraine in its war with Russia. Simion did not concede.
Dan, 55, had campaigned on a pledge to fight rampant corruption, maintain support for Ukraine – where Romania has played an important logistic role – and to keep the country firmly within the European mainstream.”
The EU/NATO/globalist cabal is the new Soviet Union.
Is it “controversial” because one of the candidates isn’t a left-wing globalist Euro-weenie?
On to his Ceaușescu Moment!
This scenario sounds familiar. A conservative thought to win but then magically the leftist candidate wins by several percentage points.
Romanians need to revolt.
This was rigged no doubt about it.
Yep and idiots around here shill for these people to take Ukraine.
They hate Putin so much they can’t see their global homo nazi tyrants who have been poisoning them to death are on their way to running the world.
This electoral thievery illustrates “European Values” perfectly.
This was the country that basically banned the conservative party? Canceled elections, etc.?
Sounds like Romania uses some form of RCV...
It’s just like here in the US when the race is too close to call and the votes get re-counted until the Dem wins.
Cheating is just what Dems do because they know if they did things by the rules, they’d lose almost every time.
