Romanian Presidential Candidate Claims Coup After Court Cancels Election Results
Kalin Georgescu, the nationalist candidate for the Romanian presidency who won the first round of elections, decried a ‘coup’ after the Constitutional Court annulled the results, ordering a full re-run of the election process. In a video message, the 62-year-old former high-ranking public official urged his supporters to ‘remain faithful to our common ideal’ despite the cancellation, which comes two days before the second round. The court’s ruling was prompted by suspicions of Russian interference via TikTok.
