There Romania He is currently at the center of a profound political dispute, followed by a series of wide -flow protests After the Constitutional Court canceled the result of the presidential elections and after the prosecutor arrested, questioned and placed the candidate who arrived first, Calin Georgescu. These facts have triggered debates on democracy and legality in the country, and pushed thousands of people to take to the streets to protest against what has all the symptoms of a not very democratic system.
The capital, Bucharestshe turned into a stage of massive events, with thousands of people who gathered first in Piazza dell’Unità and then headed towards Piazza della Vittoria. The supporters of Calin Georgescuright candidate and pro -Russian, whose presidency race was abruptly interrupted by the cancellation of the elections due to alleged irregularities. He had arrived first, despite having obtained surveys in one figure and had declared zero expenses for the election campaign. During the protests, there were moments of high voltage and clashes with the police.
Georgescu’s supporters joined the mass, expressing their disappointment and their indignation for the cancellation of the vote, interpreted by many as an assault on democracy. Even the vice -president JD Vance in Munich, in front of the European leaders, criticized them for their silence in the face of a decision of the decidedly sensational Romanian judges: if the western democracies are at risk for 300 thousand euros of funding on Tik Tokthen they must be really bad. Yesterday in the square the demonstrators requested that the elections resume from the second round, avoiding repeating the initial votes, a proposal that, in their opinion, could return legitimacy to the electoral process.
To exacerbate the spirits, and to give, evidently, other millions of votes a Georgescuthere was the decision of the Romanian prosecutor to investigate the Filorusso leader, to question him and ask him under surveillance after having ordered searches in different homes and against some men close to him. The accusation against the candidate is to promote extremism and incitement against the constitutional order. Georgescu rejected these accusations, which however illustrate the degree of polarization and the severity of the political crisis that crosses the Romanian society.
