  2. It will be tensions of course if he comes out as president, but we will make it through , and follow
    Our european course.
    The majority in parliament will be pro eu/nato.
    Maybe in 4 years at the next elections, well, these extremist will rise in numbers

  3. USA: votes a concealed Russian asset into office.
    Romania: Hold my beer!

  4. I find it very odd that romanians based in the EU massively support him.

    Don’t they realize that there is a high risk they will be kicked out if Romania leaves the EU?

  6. And what happens if Russia or Turkey invades Romania? I think that people voting for him will be the first in line to call out NATO as ‘cowardly’ for doing nothing.

  7. I think instead of divorece we could try a trial separation. When they get into office, for the next few years EU will treat Romania as if it is a foreign nations without any border/Visa/customs agreements, and expects Romania to do the same. Along with this all agricultural subsidies and such get cancelled. Then Romanians get to experience what it would be like to not be in EU, unlike the Brits who seems to have regret their decision a bit because NHS didn’t get that billions of dollars, nor did the economy grow, or the fishing industry bloom, neither did those immigrants get deported, energy costs didn’t go down and 20 million houses for working class families didn’t sprout. Pound is stonk and trending up… right?

  8. It’s very easy:
    Brazil done it Australia doing it
    Europe politicians have no guts.
    Social media only allowed from IP addresses in the country
    Others got blocked
    Any inside country pushing Kremlin narrative : close surveillance: within 3 month- funding/instructions will be discovered

  9. Well Putin does need a new air base and Romania has one thanks to NATO

  10. How can a president in a non-presidential system just take their country out of international organizations.

  12. The problem seems to be that not enough of these people are ending up like Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein.

  13. I’m thinking how long would it take for them to leave EU? Years? What about leaving NATO ?

    This might be just a lot of hot air with no real consequence, outside of trying to use some voting rights….

  14. *I remember when we use to beat traitors to death with hammers meme*

  15. The other candidate should go all in on showing what the last leader who was a Russia simp was like

  16. Honestly, if they voted for this and left EU/NATO I couldn’t care less. Fucking morons voting for russian puppets 

  17. The satisfied grin of Vladimir Putin and the threat from Alexander Dugin (a prominent Russian nationalist and ideologue) have stamped Russia’s mark on Călin Georgescu. Viewed by many as merely eccentric and anti-establishment, Georgescu is, in reality, an existential threat to Romania. With ties to pro-Russian Serbia and covert couriers traveling the Belgrade route, Călin Georgescu pursues three clear objectives: withdrawing from NATO, exiting the EU, and establishing a one-party dictatorship. The Supreme Council of National Defense (CSAT) must now publicly disclose whether it has evidence of Georgescu’s potential links to dictatorial regimes in Russia and China.

    In June 2024, Călin Georgescu stated explicitly on TVR3 (a Romanian state television channel) that he would pull Romania out of NATO. **“Regarding NATO, if things continue like this, it’s clear we’re not interested. Why stay in a club that doesn’t provide security?”** Yesterday, he reiterated this stance in a video, claiming, “We’ve relied too much on others, and that’s where our problems began. On others’ armies, others’ food, others’ economies. This must stop immediately.” His half-hearted retraction serves only as an electoral maneuver to calm panicked voters.

    The message is clear and unequivocal. If elected to lead the country, Călin Georgescu would initiate a process of severing ties with NATO and the U.S. For Romania, Georgescu’s proposed neutrality means, in practice, falling into Russia’s grasp. Without the military support of allies, Romania would withstand any potential hybrid or conventional attack far less effectively than Ukraine. And without NATO membership, no one would lift a finger to help us.

    # Leaving the EU

    Exiting the EU is another of Georgescu’s objectives. He continuously invokes sovereignty and alleged submission to Brussels, perpetuating a baseless narrative despite the undeniable evidence that EU membership has brought Romania unprecedented prosperity.

    Outside the EU, Romania would become another Belarus. Leaving the EU would mean humiliating queues for visas to Spain, Italy, or France. It would mean a return to grim, gray stores, shortages of food, clothing, and cosmetics. It would mean widespread unemployment, as investors shut down production facilities en masse due to the import taxes that would come into effect after leaving the Union.

    # A Dictatorship Without Parties

    Georgescu’s most extreme rhetoric surfaced in April 2024 at the Neamț Monastery, where he openly declared: **“There will be no political parties in this country, none.”** Thirty-five years after the revolution against the Communist Party—the country’s sole party—this individual seeks the presidency with the promise of abolishing all political parties.

    This rhetoric echoes the message of the fascist Iron Guard in the 1920s and 1930s, which used political assassinations to dismantle parties. With his hypnotic, carefully honed rhetoric, Georgescu revives the totalitarian insanity of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (the leader of the Iron Guard movement in interwar Romania).

    When pressed by journalists to clarify his anti-constitutional stances, Călin Georgescu refuses dialogue. The mystery of his support base deepens. There is widespread speculation about reservists from former communist-era intelligence services and the military working for him. Legitimate concerns have been raised about possible connections to Russian and Chinese actors, especially since Georgescu himself admitted meeting Alexander Dugin.

    # CSAT’s Role

    One institution has the power to shed light on this matter: the Supreme Council of National Defense (CSAT). Last week, CSAT convened at Cotroceni Palace (the Romanian President’s official residence) to discuss Călin Georgescu’s case. If CSAT possesses relevant information about the candidate’s links to Moscow and Beijing, it is essential to declassify it through legal procedures, as already requested by two journalists.

    Romanians have the right to know if a candidate is taking orders from outside the country. As a NATO and EU member state, Romania cannot jeopardize these affiliations by placing someone with significant questions about their loyalty at the helm.

  18. Demoralization is complete. 
    Destabilization in the process. If you are familiar of the principes of the hybrid war, everything makes perfect sense. Either EU puts on boxing gloves anytime soon or we are all fucked. 

  19. Spoke with a friend who is in France for 20 years. And he said he voted with Mr Calin. Asked him why and his response was ” I didn’t leave the country so you guys live better then me” WTF

  20. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but:
    If Georgescu becomes president (or even if he doesn’t but especially if he does) and the coalition government is going to be a PSD-PNL-USR-UDMR one then I will personally take back all the bad things I have said abt PSD and Marcel Ciolacu over the past 4 years.

  21. For non Romanians: the guy in the thumbnail is the journalist who wrote the article. Georgescu looks different.

  22. Romanians, no surprise there, the surprise is to see my friends voting for this Călin the Savior!

  23. Romania, what the fuck. I expected this from us, but from you? Come on man…

  24. I bet that then in government they will not make a romanexit, a lot of money came from the EU.

  25. I’ve become depressed with the situation and have given up hope. Me and my family will vote against, but I have low expectations. The polls give him favorite, and social media is booming with brainrotting, anxiety inducing content posted by functionally illiterates. Fuck this timeline, I hate it!

  26. ❗️❗️❗️ REGULATE SOCIAL MEDIA ❗️❗️❗️

    EU, I beg you, grow some balls and act! Russia is kicking our ass without even stepping foot on our land. This has gone enough! Social media in its current form is cancer to society!

  27. We really underestimate how sensible low income housholds are to inflation. They are angry with establishment, the are fed up with non stop idealism, they want more food on the table and more presents for kids under the christmas tree. We need to fix the communication and talk more about what they care and less about what they care less.

  29. >…what Romania can do about it

    Remove that POS from your country and send him to Russia.

    Anyway, you should explain all those Romanians abroad that they cannot be abroad anymore when they vote for that fascist pig, they’ll be forced to return to Europe (because no-EU is no free traffic of people and money)

  30. russia did a great convincing idiots to vote against themselves. And also “tinkering” with the votes

  32. It’s amazing how facts just DONT WORK anymore. Brexit is universally thought of as a mistake. Everyone agrees it backfired. Yet here we are
