Regardless of your opinions on Georgescu and his stances on certain issues, I think the main thing to take away is that he (as far as I know) was a completely independent candidate who despite all the odds (including not being a contender), won the Romanian election, but of course the elites will find a way to ensure that he would never get in. Our current system won't allow in anyone who goes against the status quo.
@xianc78 yeah, with that move they have abandoned all remaining pretense of having "democratic institutions," as is the rest of europe that goes along with it. the phrase in quotes will remain for a while as a sort of symbolic or aesthetic layer in the sociopolitical imagination, the way the UK remains a "monarchy"
