Romania's court decision may impact presidential candidates' eligibility

Romania's Constitutional Court is set to make a crucial decision this week regarding the upcoming presidential election. The court's ruling will determine if all qualified candidates can appear on the ballot or if conservative candidates will be banned. In a surprising move, the court previously nullified the results of a November election, citing claims of Russian collusion. This decision has raised concerns about the integrity of Romania's democracy and the public's right to choose their leaders. George Simion, a conservative candidate, has submitted the required signatures to appear on the ballot. However, the court's ongoing ideological scrutiny has led to the rejection of other conservative candidates, intensifying fears about the future of democratic processes in Romania.
