So apparently, there are riots going on in Romania and it's because a truly independent presidential candidate won the first round of elections, despite not being on the ballot, yet he had his victory voided, despite the Romanian courts initially accepting his victory.

I don't know much about this guy, but he actually and surprisingly does seem genuine. He is 100% anti-COVID vaccine, against funding Ukraine (while also not being pro-Russia), and is skeptical of both the Apollo moon landings and 9/11.

I mean, wow! I never would think a truly independent candidate would get that far in this day and age, but it shouldn't be surprising that the courts would void the election. Now people are taking on to the streets about it.

I'd say to keep an eye on the situation. Things might get interesting.

I worked with a Romanian girl who was all for this. She bought the narrative from her media saying the elections had to be stopped because the judges found evidence of "Russian Interference." The elections from last year have been rescheduled for May. It's fucked up.

What if I told you, one of Georgescu's close allies was found to have called the Russian embassy and tried to contact a Russian military official?
We still don't have the full picture of what was the Russian interference during the 2024 elections, but slowly it starts looking plausible that there's something up with Georgescu and Russia.
We might end up being the exception to the "rule" of "any mention of Russia is propaganda lies from the mainstream".
