💨 Abstract

Romanian authorities have barred far-right, pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu from participating in May's presidential election rerun, citing two Constitutional Court rulings related to vote manipulation, campaign irregularities, and suspected Russian meddling. Georgescu, under criminal investigation, denies wrongdoing. The decision risks fueling domestic unrest and straining Romania's strategic partnership with the United States.
