There’s going to be a second round. So, it may be similar to the elections against LePen and her fascists.
Trump-Orban-Georgescu
All of these right wing dipshits will have a reckoning when all the fascist pro putin self interested quacks that they elected end up targeting them next.
The guy got 22% in the first round, which, yes, is more than anyone else, but it’s still not even half of a majority of all the votes. It’s certainly not good that he’s advancing to the second round, but it’s too early to doom and gloom yet. The second round is still anyone’s game and there’s no guarantee at all that the majority of the other voters will pick Georgescu in December.
Hoping the second round solves this. However heres hoping Romanians or at least the users on Reddit wake up to the reality of Romania.
I have been downvoted and cussed out before for trying to explain that pro Russian propaganda is all over Romanian social media and people are falling for it in very large numbers. The message goes out to all western countries who currently have their heads buried in the sand.
No elections will be safe in any democracies around the world until we regulate social media and make brutal steps in stopping disinformation and misinformation spread by rogue actors like Russia.
What happened in romanian elections is the blueprint for bending democracies by only using social media and fascist rhetoric.
People are truly too stupid for democracies. Never could Socrates have been more right about demagogues and the dangers of democracies.
Truly you have an unbiased media
I was shocked by the degree of even-handedness displayed by the article
nightmare for NATO let’s say .. good for humanity however .
I just went through what the americans went through first time Trump got elected. I am not well
This Georgescu guy will probably go in the second round of presidential elections, where he will lose. Most people will vote against him.
Plus, the dude is unkown to a lot of people (tiktok got him so far) and he didn’t show his “beliefs” (extremist, antisemite, anti Ukraine, ultra religious), press didn’t focus/expose him to a lot of people. While others candidates faced political battles, the extremist got smooth waters so far.
Interesting that the other extremist (Simion) got 14% of votes because he toned down his speech last weeks, hoping to go into the second round of elections.
Traditionally, Romania always had about 30% of extremist nutjobs, and adding the 2 extremists’ votes (Georgescu and Simion) it’s slightly above 30%
Things will become clear in the second round. It will be a vote against him. We’ll see what most of Romanians (not only tiktok bunch) think of this.
What a career:
– Calls for halting aid to Ukraine
– Condemns Romania’s involvement in NATO missile defense initiatives
– Describes NATO’s Deveselu missile shield as a *diplomatic shame*
– In 2020, praised Putin as *one of few genuine leaders* who cares for his nation
– Stated Romania’s *best chance* lies with *Russian wisdom* diplomatically
– Left the AUR party in 2022 due to his pro-Russian stance damaging party image
– Praised Ion Antonescu (Romania’s WWII leader who allied with Hitler)
– Supported Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (leader of anti-Semitic Iron Guard movement)
– Claims NATO would not protect members if Russia attacked
Just what Europe needed right now – another TikTok sensation turned politician who went from 0.4% to 22% by praising Putin and calling NATO a shame, while Romania casually shares a 650km border with Ukraineee
So another event where redditors turned out to be wrong?
I don’t want to be Romanian anymore
This is just being overhyped and pushed by Ruzzia all over social media. He is going nowhere in 2nd round.
We are in a war. We can’t afford to let such traitorous people near government. We cannot hope to defeat Russia just on the hope that people vote in the ‘right’ manner.
So why is he popular? Is it like with afd, trump?
There seems to be the same curriculum for all so-called “right wing” parties in different UE MSs…
Just have all redditors translate them to English for comparison – under the false nationalism they all use anti EU, anti NATO, propaganda.
