Political Turmoil: Georgescu's Battle for Presidency

Romanian far-right figure Calin Georgescu has been barred from the presidential race. He plans to appeal the electoral decision, which claims electoral violations and Russian interference. His supporters protest amid political crisis in Romania. The Constitutional Court will make a decision soon.

Far-right Romanian politician Calin Georgescu faces a significant hurdle as he appeals against his disqualification from the presidential election. The country's Central Election Bureau rejected his candidacy due to past allegations of electoral irregularities and Russian interference.

On Monday, Georgescu announced his intention to take the matter to Romania's Constitutional Court. The decision has triggered political unrest, with hundreds of supporters protesting in Bucharest against what they perceive as an attack on democracy.

A previous ruling last year by the Constitutional Court nullified the elections, deepening Romania's ongoing political crisis. This latest development amid ongoing investigations into his actions and campaign practices further complicates the nation's elections.
