🚨🇷🇴ROMANIA’S ELECTION BOARD FACES HEAT FOR BLOCKING GEORGESCU’S BID
Romania’s Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) is facing a storm of criticism after rejecting conservative presidential candidate Călin Georgescu’s attempt to run in the May election rerun—a decision that could shake up the country’s political landscape.
Georgescu’s win in November’s presidential vote was scrapped by the Constitutional Court (CCR) after intelligence reports tied his success to a Kremlin-backed TikTok campaign.
His fresh candidacy for the May rerun, filed last Friday, was shot down by the BEC on Sunday, pushing the fight to the CCR, which is now reviewing his appeal.
Rather than face the press within rising tensions, the CCR has indicated it will issue only a written statement on its upcoming ruling—a move critics call “cowardly” and proof of a rigged system.
Furious Georgescu supporters have already clashed with police over the BEC’s ban, vowing to fight what they see as a stolen democracy.
As the CCR gears up to weigh in, one thing’s for sure—this showdown is just heating up.
