A Romanian court is set to decide whether to annul the presidential election held on November 24, which was won by far-right candidate Călin Georgescu. The court has ordered a recount and may allow a rerun on December 15. The election has faced scrutiny due to allegations of online influence and irregularities. The presidency noted concerns about Russian efforts to sway public opinion, while TikTok denied claims of preferential treatment for Georgescu's campaign. Regardless of the court's ruling, parliamentary elections are scheduled for December 1. These elections are seen as significant for Romania's political future and its role within the EU and NATO.
