Romania far-right candidate Georgescu barred from presidential election • FRANCE 24 English

The ruling by Romania’s electoral bureau to exclude the far-right politician Calin Georgescu from the presidential poll in May sparked clashes between his supporters and police in the capital Bucharest. Georgescu won the first round of a presidential election last November, but the vote was annulled amid allegations of Russian meddling in his favour.

  1. How can someone who wins an election be 'far' anything. Surely by definition winning an election puts you bang-on in the centre?

  2. “ YES…. Everyone to the STREETS to Protest the Vassal, Corrupt and Dictatorship of European Union. We in United States we Protest too, People voted for Him, and EVERY Human have RIGHT to Ballot. FAKE European Corrupt Democracy. We in UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 stand firmly with Sovereign and Independent ROMANIA.”

  3. Hearing that Romania disqualified a legal election for a good Conservative politician is a giant threat to Democracy. When you hear "far right" from the media, you know that he is a genuinely good man.

  4. Democracy is only good when it gives you the results you want. Banning parties shows us the true nature of the "liberal" establishment.

  5. Călin Georgescu is totally allowed to be Pro-Russian and Anti-NATO, that’s democracy! If he is pro-legionary movement is also allowed! This is freedom of speech and if that’s what the Românian people voted for that’s what counts!

  6. He is not far-right. He is a ex member of Securitate and friend to many present day secret service. After 1992 he allways been involved in some sort of NGO grifting money. Plus, he really believes in new age b.s.

  7. In order to restore democracy and free elections, it appears that Romania needs a revolution to topple its unelected leader. Until the regime is overthrown and free and open elections are held again, we must sanction the regime and declare any elections coming from Romania to be invalid.

  8. Thank you for your effort on material about Romania…..That country was left alone…so much for democracy. Strategic partners, EU allies…who needs friends like this? They are all globalists….the hell with them!

  9. Honneur courage bravoure a la Roumanie 👍♥️tout les européen doivent être de la partie non a la dicta et non a la fédération des nations

  10. This is the death knell of the E.U, and globalist institutions and its magic to see. How dare the eu/nato threaten a country's right to decide who they want to lead them,

  11. BS. Bucharest was not paralyzed. there were less then 2000 people protesting. During 2019 anti corruption protests more than 350.000 people protested. We offed out previous dictator while millions went to the streets in 89. So please do not lecture us on protests and democracy.
