You must know that in Romania “A large front of writers and artists” had “signed a letter to convince their fellow citizens not to vote for extremism”. He reported it Republic with the usual emphasis towards intellectual appeals. Obviously the voters have fooled highly. As have been screwed by the tanks of intelligence reports on Calin Georgescu, of the investigations that have ousted him from the vote, the weak accusations of having made up the presidential presidential presidents 2024 with two pennies invested in Tiktok and some Russian trolls all to be demonstrated. At the repetition of the vote staged yesterday, the Romanians rewarded George Simionnumber one of Aur and vice -president of the ECR conservatories, which took over 40%, one third more than the survey estimates.
The Romanian system “, but also the commentators in Italy and Europe, will then have to wonder if it was worth canceling the elections to stop Georgescu to end up from the pan to the grill. On the contrary. The unknown candidate “Philorusso”, arrested with great pomp, investigated for alleged illegal funding all to be demonstrated, therefore ousted from the elections without the shadow of a judicial sentence, had collected “only” 27% of the votes and the ballot would hardly have been able to beat the opponent. Now instead Simion, who collected the witness, and who also presented himself to the seat with Georgescu, grossed 40% of the preferences.
A clear signal. Unequivocal. Also confirmed by the turnout at 53.16%, in clear increase compared to the canceled vote of November. And perhaps it matters little how the ballot on May 18th, if the Europeanist forces manage to ally to prevent the “right” from climbing to power in a country that is both EU and NATO member. Yesterday’s result is a warning for all those countries that, in order to defend themselves from the vote, seem ready to disavow the very essence of democracy. That is, the unquestionable choice of voters.
“The Romanian people spoke and despite the manipulation and obstacles, the Romanians got up,” said Simion at the hot. At the ballot will see it with the independent and pro -European candidate Nicusor Dan (21%) who has passed Crin Antonescu, supported by the moderate (social democratic and liberal) forces). The vote of the Romanians abroad decisive, which, however, have rewarded Simion with over 60%.
On our newspaper we had been among the first to report the absurdity of the decision before the Constitutional Court to cancel an unwelcome electoral result and then of the electoral committee to osterome Georgescu without a rag of a first degree. And not by affinity with Georgescu or with his allies, little interests us to say the truth. We defended a principle. Also because, we wrote, the effect could only prove a boomerang as it was actually. Instead of crippled ‘the populists’, the system ended up strengthening them. With the root in the voters, the belief that to change things it is necessary to unhinge that system that is barricading in itself. Germany takes note, and does not make the same mistake with the Afd.
