1. Romanian police on Sunday took mercenaries linked to far-right presidential candidate Calin Georgescu into questioning. Individuals were stopped as they were heading to the capital to stage protests and intimidate journalists and politicians after the presidential runoff were canceled.

   Some 21 individuals were questioned included gang leader Horatiu Potra, who was part of the Foreign Legion, and his son. He was later detained for 24 hours. The individuals had lists of journalists, politicians who were critical of Georgescu who they were planning to target, police told Digi24.

2. If I had to bet, they’ll claim to be victims of political persecution, and their voters will buy it.

3. I have the weirdest deja-vu. As if someone already did this once somewhere.

4. WTF is going on in Romania? I mean where I live these guys would have at least committed two felonies.

5. I’m really surprised at Romania.

   Everyone has spoken shit about them for 20 years but now I’m seeing they actually have a better system to track down those anti-democratic shitheads than any other country in the EU.

   And before some degenerate comes here saying “ah yes but cancelling elections isn’t democratic”, well it actually is since they are protecting their democracy which was a target of manipulation and external influence.

6. The EU is filled with shit coming from the south and the east. We have to start cleaning up, guys.

7. They read the Nazi playbook, I see.

8. Remember, these are the scumbags tankies defends whining about “eLeCtIoNs CaNcElLeD bEcAuSe An AnTi-Eu-NaTo CaNdIdAtEs WoN” and “RoMaNiA iS a FaKe DeMoCrAcY”

   Yes, elections were cancelled because a fascist won with an unfair advantage since he got 22% of votes defying election rules. And democracies have the right to defend themselves from wannabe dictators.
   And tankies have to keep in mind that: a) elections will be redone from scratch b) There were other right/far-right/populist candidates running for President, and no complaints were brought upon them

9. Good – put that scum in jail.

10. What does “linked” mean in this case? And are they a gang or are they mercenaries?

11. Life prison please lets put fear in these pieces of shit

12. Russia

13. Evil never sleeps.
