The results of the December 2024 election, which saw right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu place first, were overturned over alleged irregularities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ex-Romanian presidential candidate Calin Georgescu has urged President Nicusor Dan to share a report on the controversial annulment of the December 2024 election with the US and Israel for independent review.
The conservative frontrunner was eliminated from the race by the Constitutional Court over supposed irregularities and foreign interference – allegations that Georgescu has contested.<\/p>\n

Addressing his supporters in Bucharest on Tuesday, Georgescu cited a report that incumbent Romanian President Dan had supposedly presented to certain EU leaders that presumably clarifies why the vote’s results were invalidated in the first place.<\/p>\n

“I publicly call upon <\/em>[President Dan] to transmit the said report in its entirety, without omissions, to two states capable of independently verifying its content. To the White House, for the attention of President <\/em>[Donald Trump] and Vice President <\/em>[J.D. Vance], and to the State of Israel, for the attention of Prime Minister <\/em>[Benjamin Netanyahu],”<\/em> Georgescu said.<\/p>\n

The former presidential candidate noted that given the accusations of anti-Semitism “fabricated against me”<\/em> by the Romanian authorities, Israel would have no reason to side with him, guaranteeing impartiality.<\/p>\n

Soon after the December 2024 election annulment, media reports revealed that the allegations of irregularities and Russian interference cited by Romania’s Constitutional Court stemmed from a consulting firm associated with the ruling National Liberal Party.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Georgescu was eventually barred from running for president again by the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) over his alleged “anti-democratic”<\/em> and “extremist”<\/em> views. The former candidate, known for his outspoken criticism of NATO and the EU, is currently being investigated for allegedly promoting fascist narratives as well as plotting a coup.<\/p>\n

Last Friday, Georgescu asked Trump to “take care about the situation”<\/em> in Romania, claiming that the local “deep state”<\/em> had mounted an assault on democracy.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in February 2025, Vance called out “ugly”<\/em> efforts to prevent a politician with “an alternative viewpoint”<\/em> from coming to power in Romania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
