Far-right candidate’s victory in Romania’s presidential election first round invalidated by top court


The first round of Romania’s presidential election has been annulled by the country’s top court following allegations of Russian interference in favor of the far-right outsider who had emerged as the frontrunner. President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence that revealed a coordinated online campaign by Russia to promote Calin Georgescu through social media platforms like TikTok and Telegram. Despite declaring zero campaign spending, Georgescu had unexpectedly won the first round and was set to face reformist Elena Lasconi in a runoff. The unprecedented decision by the Constitutional Court is final and has raised concerns about foreign interference in Romania’s democratic process. This revelation comes at a time of heightened scrutiny over Russian involvement in elections around the world. The annulment of the election raises questions about the integrity of the political system in Romania and the potential impact of disinformation campaigns on the country’s democratic processes. The investigation into Russian interference in the election underscores the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures to safeguard against external influence in future elections in Romania and beyond.
