A top Romanian court on Friday annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after allegations that Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round.

The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision — which is final — came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram.

Despite being a huge outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner on Nov. 24. He was due to face reformist Elena Lasconi of the Save Romania Union party in a runoff on Sunday.

A new date will now be set to rerun the first round.

The intelligence files were from the Romanian Intelligence Service, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Special Telecommunication Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In light of the intelligence release, Romania’s Constitutional Court received multiple legal complaints urging it to annul the first-round vote but it is not clear yet on what grounds it made the decision.

The same court last week ordered a recount of the first-round votes, which added to the myriad controversies that have engulfed a chaotic election cycle.

If you think Worst Korea was pissed off when Martial Law was declared, just wait until you see a country full of literal gypsies get mad.

Very cool, it's about time they got a new Vlad Țepeș.

 

[Toji Suzuhara]

Almost a day before the second round was supossed to take place too, the romanian deep state really hates this guy's guts

 

[quaawaa]

European countries are not democracies.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

They picked a very stupid time to do this. Almost all important events in Romanian history happen in the winter. Because a Romanian man would start a revolution instead of shoveling his driveway.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Doesn't say if they are blocking him from running, which makes it sound like he will just win again or they will try and "fortify" the vote.

Maybe Romania will do another Ceaușescu removal.

 

[Schwarzwald]

Count Chocula won fair and square. Frankenberry is a punk who can't let go of power.

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

Isn't this the guy that's literally a Russian intelligence agent

They would like to do that. And they might next week. But one of the few justifiable reasons they are doing it is because the Cunt and her party clearly stole votes and also encouraged people abroad a few timezones behind to go vote, which is very illegal. In reality the race would be between Based Grandpa and the Disheveled Communist.

My giga brained conspiracy is that they ran some internal polls and figured out nobody is gonna vote for the dumbest woman in Romania. So they are throwing out the baby with the bath water and doing a stress test at the same time. If the people screech too much they will let Based Grandpa run and just steal the election. If the people don't screech enough they won't let him run.

Isn't this the guy that's literally a Russian intelligence agent

Maybe israeli intelligence, the guy said that one of his first moves would be to move the romanian embassy to Jerusalem and that he would have a zero tolerance policy for anti-semitism in Romania

 

[Monopolywheel]

If you don't vote for the Globohomo candidate then we'll redo the election until you vote correctly goyim

 

[Éamonn Ceannt]

Imagine if he overpreforms in the rerun because this pisses everyone off. That'd be hilarious. Unlikely but hilarious.

 

[Lady Adjani]

The same court last week ordered a recount of the first-round votes, which added to the myriad controversies that have engulfed a chaotic election cycle.

What a fucking joke.

Might as well just remove from him from the ballot.

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

The sham that is western democracy dealt another blow. Null is right the votes don’t matter

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

Who do you think you are, peasent? Do you really think we'd allow you to vote for whoever the fuck you like? No, we will just annul the election and do it for as long as it takes. WE ELITES ALWAYS GET WHAT WE WANT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. NOW RETURN TO YOUR FUCKING WAGECAGE.

 

[The Crack Spiders Bitch]

@AgendaPoster
YOU WERE RIGHT!
VOATING IS POINTLESS

What people don't get about fascist states like China and Russia is this:
In free countries like US, Europe, we have wokeshit, censors, etc, but their power is very limited. They can make their groups and exclude you out of them, they might push media or get butthurt on Twitter, but that's about it, they don't have absolute power, they don't have the ability to deny your human rights, etc.

In fascist states it is not like that. Imagine slightly hinting you don't agree to tranny shit, and the tranny has the power to send you to prison for a couple of years. They can cancel your business and prevent you from ever working ever again. They can ban you from the internet for ever. Your neighbors might be snitches that rat you out if you don't suck the girldick. And that's just how it is in fascist states. Any slight disagreement can label you a traitor to the state and fuck your life up forever.

Ahhh yes let's retry till we get the right result that doesn't threaten Our Democracy.

If an election is cancelled because the wrong guy won, I think there's a duty for everyone to vote for the wrong guy.
