Now the electoral commission has rejected his request, declaring that he had adopted “the refusal of the registration of the independent candidacy of Mr. Georgescu Calin in the elections for the President of Romania in 2025”, without providing further details on the reasons for the decision.
The exclusion of a candidate from the electoral competition without an adequate motivation represents a vulnus for democracywhich finds its maximum expression in the vote of citizens. The selection entrusted to the democratic procedure was in fact tampered with, denying the Romanian people the possibility of expressing themselves on a political proposal that had already obtained significant popular support. If you accept the principle according to which it is possible to neutralize a political option excluding it from the competition for fear of its victory, there is a risk of legitimizing a method that, although wrapped in an alleged legality, ends up compromising the free democratic confrontation.
The lack of motivation in the exclusion measure represents A disturbing aggravating circumstance And it contributes to further fueling the polarization of the Romanian political context. If a substantial part of the population sees its voice anesthetized within the representative institutions, from which democracy radiates, it could end up recruiting the anti -system galaxy, triggering a process of democratic erosion. The Romanian case evokes a contradiction: in the name of the democratic safeguard and for supposed violations of the electoral funding, there is a risk of starting a mechanism that projects the shadow of the superfluous on the polls, emptying the electoral process of its most authentic meaning.
