Romania’s Constitutional Court has dismissed the victory of independent candidate Calin Georgescu in the first round of voting
Romania’s Constitutional Court has annulled the results of the first round of the national presidential election after independent candidate Calin Georgescu clinched a surprise win last month.
The decision comes amid accusations that Russia had allegedly assisted Georgescu’s campaign. Moscow has dismissed them as “absolutely groundless.”
Georgescu, a religious nationalist, has on multiple occasions been critical of both NATO and the EU, and has criticized Romania’s role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He has also promised to end all military and political assistance to Kiev if elected into office.
