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.

@djsumdog @xianc78 apparently the "Russian interference" is that Russia paid for a few tiktok ads for him or something like that
