A Judicial Coup in Romania

In an extraordinary and unprecedented move, Romania’s constitutional court announced last week the annulment of the results of the first round of the presidential elections held on Nov. 24, in which the independent populist candidate Călin Georgescu came out on top. The ruling, which restarted the entire electoral process, came just days before the scheduled runoff between Georgescu and the pro-EU candidate Elena Lasconi, which Georgescu was tipped to win by a large margin.
It’s the first time a European court has overturned the result of an election, signaling a troubling escalation in the EU-NATO establishment’s increasingly open war on democracy. The justification for this brazen act was a report by the Romanian intelligence services—“declassified” and published two days before the ruling—alleging that the country was the target of a “Russian hybrid attack” during the electoral campaign, involving a coordinated TikTok campaign to boost Georgescu’s candidacy.
The report was the culmination of a two-week-long campaign aimed at delegitimizing Georgescu’s victory, which shocked Romania’s ruling elites and the Western establishment at large. It was the first time since the fall of the Soviet-backed regime in 1989 that the two parties that have come to dominate Romanian politics since—the Social Democratic Party and the center-right National Liberal Party, which are united in their commitment to the European Union and NATO—both failed to make it past the first round of a presidential election.

We need to protect our democracy.
And it’s only “our democracy” when our side wins.

Judge Moraes in Brazil is quite similar, he’s the judge that banned Twitter and threatened people who used a VPN to access it.
Guess the globalists have decided if the electorate isn’t with them the courts will be.

Globalists and the CIA despise democracies and representative republics and much as the Soviets and KGB did.
The people of Romania and Georgia both don't be a colonized part of the EU, NATO, globalists or us.
