Thousands of Romanians took to the streets on Sunday in a demonstration organized by the largest far-right opposition party against the decision to cancel a presidential election last month because of suspicions of Russian interference.
More than 10,000 people marched on the streets of Bucharest waving flags and shouting against the current ruling coalition, the Constitutional Court and outgoing President Klaus Iohannis. Some of the protesters also showed their support for fringe pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu, demanding the country’s top court reverse its decision to cancel the ballot in which he was a frontrunner. It’s the second protest organized by the nationalist forces in the past week.
