Let us remind you
Călin Georgescu won the first round of presidential elections in Romania in November 2024, gaining 22% of the votes. The country's Constitutional Court annulled the election results due to alleged Russian interference in the election process.
Later, a new date for the presidential and local elections was set - May 4, 2025. Georgescu submitted his candidacy, but the Central Election Commission refused to register the candidate.
In May, following the voting, Nicușor Dan, an opponent of Georgescu's political ally George Simion, was elected President of Romania.
