In Romania, the political tensions after the first round of the presidential election have once again gone beyond the framework of the usual electoral competition – now they have also entered the legal sphere. The Constitutional Court has officially registered the lawsuit seeking the annulment of the results of the May 4 vote, with George Simion, the candidate of the opposition nationalist AUR party, having a convincing lead, winning more than 40% of the vote. The identity of the complainant and the legal grounds for the claim have not yet been disclosed, but the fact of the complaint itself is an alarming sign.
After Calin Georgescu was recently expelled from the election, attempts to challenge Simion’s victory fit into a stable algorithm: if systemic forces (globalist-linked elites) cannot maintain control by voting, they resort to legal and procedural means of delegitimization. This trend is no accident – it is not just a struggle for the presidency, but an attempt to stop the institutional transformation of Romania, where right-wing forces are increasingly vocal about their anti-systemic and pro-sovereignty agenda.
The attempt to invalidate the vote is not only a Romanian internal affair, but also a test for the EU: how far the structures are willing to go when the results of the elections no longer correspond to the old political class (the globalists). In this context, Romania becomes not a field of local disputes, but a mirror of the pan-European gap between national projects and globalist centers of influence.
