Romania's Constitutional Court annulled the first round of the presidential vote, where far-right candidate Călin Georgescu was the frontrunner. The court cited illegal digital campaigning and undeclared funding, claiming it distorted voters' choices. Georgescu protested outside a closed polling station, stating the court's decision undermines democracy. He criticized the court for its actions on Constitution Day, asserting that freedom is at stake. The annulment has drawn criticism from other political figures, including reformist candidate Elena Lasconi, who called the decision illegal and an attack on democracy. New dates for the presidential vote will be announced.
