Romania's constitutional court annuls presidential election over Russian interference allegations

Romania's constitutional court has annulled the recent presidential election due to allegations of Russian interference. This decision follows weeks of political tension and comes after the outgoing president declassified intelligence documents linking Russia to online influence campaigns and cyber-attacks. The ruling has sparked concerns among Romanians, many of whom recall the country's communist past. Some citizens express fear that Russia's involvement could threaten Romania's European alignment and democratic values. Calin Georgescu, the election frontrunner accused of benefiting from Russian meddling, dismissed these claims, attributing his rise to his political message. The re-run of the election is expected in the spring, leaving uncertainty in Romanian politics.
