The risk now is that the court’s decision leaves millions of Georgescu’s supporters feeling angry and disenfranchised.
“Shame!!! Coup d’état in full swing,” said George Simion, far-right AUR party leader who was backing Georgescu in the second round. He urged his supporters not to demonstrate in the streets against the court’s decision: “We are not taking to the streets, we will not be provoked. This system must fall democratically!”
Current Social Democrat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, who also stood as a presidential candidate, said the ruling was “the only fair solution” after the documents revealed the scale of the alleged interference operation. “The Romanians’ vote was blatantly distorted as a result of Russia’s intervention,” he said. “The presidential elections must be rerun.”
The court’s decision throws the government of Romania into complete confusion.
Nearly 48,000 Romanians abroad already voted in the second round of the presidential election. Romanians abroad had three days to vote, unlike those at home, who could only vote Sunday. Polls abroad opened Friday at noon local time, before the court canceled the first round and ordered the whole presidential election be redone.
Parliamentary elections held last week delivered a split result and a four-party coalition.
