Romanian court cancels presidential election over Russian interference allegations

The Romanian Constitutional Court has canceled the presidential election due to allegations of Russian interference, requiring a re-run. Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, who was leading, criticized the decision as a blow to democracy. Georgescu expressed his disappointment at the polling station, stating that democracy has been "canceled." His opponent, pro-European Union candidate Elena Lasconi, also voiced concerns about the state of democracy in Romania. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu supported the court's ruling, calling it the correct decision. The election's cancellation has sparked debate among supporters and opponents of both candidates.
