The Romanian Constitutional Court decided that Georgescu cannot run for president, as expected. Concerns nonetheless remain: George Simion (leader of AUR) may reportedly run in his stead with the promise of Georgescu as a prime minister stirileprotv.ro/amp/alegeri/...

🚨 Romanian President Klaus Iohannis resigns from his position, becoming the first president to do so in Romanian history in an attempt to circumvent his impeachment by parliament. Bizarrely, the move was backed by politically opposed parties on both the center-right and far-right.

ECtHR refuses interim measures to suspend effect of Romanian Constitutional Court decision annulling 1st round of presidential election. Request outside scope of interim measures: no imminent risk of irreparable harm to electoral rights.

On December 6th, the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the Presidential Elections, mandating a complete re-do. @alinacarrozzini.bsky.social on why the ruling was both necessary and legally sound and yet counterproductive for Romanian democracy. verfassungsblog.de/shooting-dem...

To the contrary, Romanian authorities clearly failed to prevent this outrageous interference - despite intel showing that his campaign had already been flagged in 2020. This is a sad attempt to bury under the carpet their misdeeds, and does nothing but prejudice trust in Romanian institutions.

The decision by the Romanian constitutional court to annull the first round of the presidential elections due to foreign influence sets an important precedent for electoral integrity in the EU #romania
