Calin Georgescu, a far-right politician leading in polls, was banned from the Romanian presidential elections by the electoral commission without clear justification. His supporters protested in Bucharest, and Georgescu condemned the decision as an attack on democracy. Previous legal troubles haunt him, including charges related to alleged ties with Russia and campaign financing irregularities. He controversially opposes aid to Ukraine and has faced broader accusations involving extremist activities. Despite these challenges, he remains a significant figure in Romanian politics with a strong voter base.
"Calin Georgescu denounced the electoral commission's decision to exclude him from the presidential elections, calling it a direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide."
"The electoral commission did not provide details justifying the rejection of Georgescu's independent candidacy, which has sparked significant public outcry and protests."
