The Romanian Constitutional Court has annulled the results of the recent presidential election, citing foreign interference. President Klaus Iohannis stated that the court's decision must be respected and assured the public of the country's stability. Iohannis revealed concerns from intelligence reports about illegal support for the far-right candidate, Călin Georgescu, who gained popularity through social media. He emphasized that the election outcome was influenced by a coordinated campaign from a foreign state actor. Iohannis will remain in office until a new president is elected, maintaining that Romania is stable and secure. A new government, formed by pro-EU parties, will set the dates for the rescheduled presidential elections.
