First, they cancelled the elections he rightly won. Now they block him from re-running. Here’s how the Romanian government is brazenly destroying democracy in Bucharest. Massive protests rocked the streets of Bucharest on Sunday following the recision of Calin *Georgescu’s* candidacy. The nation’s leading presidential candidate, who had won the first round of elections last December, was barred from contesting further reruns slated for May this year—a decision which received full approval by the European Union (EU). With only 24 hours left to appeal, the 63-year-old former UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights and Hazardous Waste, who is also smeared with a flurry of incitement charges mirroring that of President Donald Trump, was reportedly disqualified on grounds of “failing to fulfil candidature obligations.” An allegation Georgescu describes as “made up” given how the team, aware of government attacks, had left no stone unturned in their re-registration. Georgescu who, after winning, was accused of failed campaign finance reporting, social media manipulation and ties to Russia interference by the Romanian Constitutional Court, strongly condemned the ruling as an attack on Democracy. His supporters clashed with police officers in Bucharest with many beckoning on Trump-led America to “save our democracy.” At the White House, Georgescu’s fight against EU-backed anti-Democratic cartels is noted and has received support from Vice President, J. D. Vance who spared no words in spelling out Europe’s rapturous decline into anti-democratic dungeons. World’s richest man and head of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, also chimed in on the chaos, labeling the 10-4 ruling “tyrannical.” “If your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with,” VP Vance said at the 2025 Munich Security Conference, also adding that,” [Europe] looks more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation, who simply don’t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election.” The EU must cease forcing its waning ultra-leftist pro-war ideology on sovereign member countries by meddling in their elections. It must learn to respect the wishes of the people it serves, especially when those wishes stand overwhelmingly against its controversial will.
