Romania's electoral commission has barred another far-right candidate, Diana Sosoaca, from the upcoming presidential election. This follows the earlier exclusion of Calin Georgescu, who had garnered substantial support. The constitutional court had annulled the previous election due to alleged Russian interference. Sosoaca, known for her pro-Russia stance and controversial statements, plans to appeal the decision, claiming it reflects on Romania's democratic state. While George Simion remains in the race, the exclusions have sparked debates about democratic processes and rights in Romania amid rising far-right sentiments.
Diana Sosoaca, previously expelled from the European Parliament, claimed she is "proof that we do not live in a democracy" after her candidacy was annulled.
After Calin Georgescu's exclusion from the presidential race, George Simion of AUR remains a significant far-right candidate, asserting Sosoaca's ban undermines Romanian democracy.
