Romania’s far-right presidential candidate Calin Georgescu was taken for questioning by police as part of an investigation into his campaign.

The opposition far-right party AUR, which backs Georgescu in the presidential race announced that it will stage a protest outside the prosecutors’ office. Romania’s prosecutors are also investigating some of Georgescu’s allies and bodyguards.

Georgescu declined to comment when asked by the media about the questioning or any accusations against him.

    I really hope you can convict him of everything you accuse him of, otherwise trust in the democratic institutions might erode even further and it won’t be Georgescu’s fault. So far it looks like elites up top just cancelled elections. Fuck Russian assets but also fuck those centrist technocrats who made people vote for him.

      50% of the population is retarded and takes its “information” from TicTok and Facebook. They act emotional, not logical. Same as USA. I had conflicts with my family for voting CG.

        I didn’t think liberals would discard democracy this fast. I’d respect it a little bit more if they were more honest about it from the start.
