The Romanian electoral body has rejected the candidacy of controversial far-right politician Diana Sosoaca for the upcoming presidential election rerun scheduled for May, citing her public statements against the European Union and NATO as grounds for disqualification. Meanwhile, George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, has been cleared to run. Sosoaca plans an appeal to the Constitutional Court, claiming electoral rigging, whereas Simion expresses anxiety over his candidacy's future amidst political pressures and tensions surrounding democratic integrity.
Public opinion is polarized, with some praising the rejection of Diana Sosoaca as a necessary step in protecting democratic values, while others decry it as an affront to free speech.
As the election date approaches, pressure mounts on Romanian authorities to ensure a fair process that reflects the will of the people, amidst rising tensions within the political landscape.
