Romania's top court cancels first round of presidential election won by far-right candidate
Romania's Constitutional Court has annulled the first round of the presidential election, which was won by far-right candidate Calin Georgescu. This decision follows allegations of a Russian online campaign to boost his candidacy. The court's ruling is final and requires a new election date to be set. The annulment comes after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence suggesting extensive Russian interference in the election. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu supported the annulment, stating it was necessary due to the alleged distortion of the vote. The decision has sparked controversy, with concerns about potential civil unrest and the state of Romanian democracy.
