Călin Georgescu, Romania's far-right presidential candidate, protested outside a closed polling station after the Constitutional Court annulled the first round of voting due to alleged Russian interference and illegal campaign practices. He claimed this decision undermines democracy. Romanian President Klaus Iohannis emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional values, while George Simion criticized the annulment as an attack on democracy. Georgescu's unexpected polling success raised questions about the legitimacy of his online support, and the elections will be rescheduled.
