Romanians on the march after arrest of presidential favourite

Tens of thousands of Romanians walked in the field of Fawz Bucharest, the headquarters of the Romanian government, at the weekend, after the interrogation presidential elections were dispensed.

Calin Georgescu was taken on his way to register as a candidate, and he was later charged with an attempt to overthrow the constitutional system, as well as a new fascist organization.

“Georgsco’s mentality is the same as Trump’s mentality,” Lavinia said, while she was directing her three -year -old daughter’s chair across a sea of ​​Roman trio.

“He will listen to our opinion, just as we listen to it. We have come here today for freedom and democracy.”

On the day of the arrest of Georgsco, an unexpected development came.

Weapons, bombs, and buried gold bars under the floor panels were found in raids on 47 properties by the Romanian police targeting a network, claiming to be managed by a former French leader and head of a militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The location of the current Horatiu Potra is unknown, but its alleged links with Georgescu are not added to plots only.

While Horatiu Potra admitted to possessing illegal weapons, Georgescu denied all the violations.

Within just three months, Romania moved from a stable and loyal member of the European Union and NATO, to a country that did not come a supportive figure of Russia from the extreme right from almost anywhere to become a favorite of the presidency.

Georgsco led the first round of last December elections, but the surface flow voting was canceled after that after Roman intelligence revealed that Russia had participated in 800 Tijook’s accounts that support him.

The elections are restarted on May 4 and 18.

For Georgsco’s critics, pictures of arms cache are the final evidence of its danger to the republic.

For his supporters, they are the latest tunnel of clay, and the condemned attempt of a corrupt system to resist inevitable change.

On the side of the road, he played a single bus with the same tone repeatedly on an electric piano, where a sea was passed from the demonstrators.

“We are talking about the freedom to choose our president.

One of the peculiarities of the Calin Georgescu phenomenon is that it seems that it has reached beyond the current national parties such as AR, the Romanian Union Alliance, which won 18 % and 63 seats in the House of Representatives in the parliamentary elections on December 1.

It was placed by some opinion polls of up to 40 %.

Georgisco dismantled the leader of Aur Firebrand, George Simon, and the leader of Souss Romania, Diana Suswaka.

Oana Eftimie rejects the charges against Georgescu, and some of his supporters, as deserted menus:

“He has been tried in all of this before, and the case was closed last year because there is no evidence. So it is not fascist, we are not fascist, we are only ordinary people who want to be able to choose our leader, and to exhaust those who are in power now.”

In a quiet apartment that is not far from the noisy marches, Elina, Calistru, the head of the unconventional citizens, a liberal non -governmental organization, recognizes that the pain of demonstrators from the corrupt and satisfied elite is in fact.

“But if you have a house and the roof leaks. You don’t burn the house. Do you fix the ceiling, right?

“Unfortunately for us, the distress that we see throughout Europe, the lack of leadership, and the lack of politicians able to speak to the general public without trying to compete with populists, is also present in Romania.”

As a loyal American ally, Romanian military analysts keep their breath on the fate of the large American military infrastructure in Romania, which includes 4,500 American employees. “Dacian Spring”, a large exercise in NATO scheduled in the spring, was postponed even after the May elections.

The candidates until March 15 have to register their nomination for the presidential elections. If the Roman Constitutional Court cannot stand, Georgisco, due to the charges against it, how will the Americans interact?

The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, made clear criticism of Romania at the Munich Security Conference last month.

“If your democracy can be destroyed by a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertisements from a foreign country, it is not strong to start.”

“Now, and the good news is that I think your democracies are much less fragile than many people seem to be afraid.”

Romans appear on both sides of the political spectrum are unbalanced.
