"Tens of thousands protested in Romania's capital on Sunday against a top court's decision last month to annul the presidential election after an outsider candidate unexpectedly emerged as the frontrunner. The protesters' chants highlighted significant discontent: 'Democracy is not optional' and 'We want free elections.'"
"The protest follows an unprecedented move by the Constitutional Court, which annulled the election just two days before a scheduled runoff. This has raised serious concerns about electoral integrity in Romania."
"George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, condemned the situation at the protest, stating, 'We are protesting against the coup d'etat that took place on Dec. 6.' His comments reflect deep frustration over recent political developments."
