Analysis
Romania's Elections Were a Big Globalist Sham
Romania's 2025 presidential election took place in May amid a political crisis caused by the annulment of the results of the first round held in 2024, when independent candidate Calin Georgescu won but the vote was overturned due to alleged interference in the election process via social media. The decision sparked protests in the country and accusations that the Romanian government is suppressing the opposition, including from the US administration.
Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan won the election while his opponent, the leader of the opposition Alliance for the Unification of Romanians (AUR) party, George Simion, admitted his defeat.
