Romanian Election Turmoil: Far-Right Candidate Barred Amid Protests

Romania’s Central Electoral Bureau has disqualified far-right candidate Calin Georgescu from the May presidential election rerun, citing violations of democratic principles. His previous campaign was linked to Russian-backed social media influence, leading to the annulment of last year’s election results.

Following the decision, large protests erupted in Bucharest, resulting in violent clashes between demonstrators and riot police. Authorities used tear gas to disperse crowds, and several arrests were made.

Georgescu has 24 hours to appeal, with the court expected to issue a ruling within 72 hours. The situation continues to raise concerns over electoral integrity and Romania’s political stability.
