The program is sponsored by HOLD - We manage not only assets, but also risks, since 1994. https://hold.hu/ Romania is preparing for a repeat presidential election after the first round was declared invalid. Is Romania really experiencing a constitutional crisis now? The Constitutional Court previously examined the votes cast in the first round, but then finally certified them, everyone was preparing for the second round, and then the Supreme Defense Council determined that the election result was influenced by foreign interference that threatened national security. What can be known about this so-called foreign interference? The independent presidential candidate CALIN GEORGESCU, who won the first round, campaigned almost exclusively on the Internet and social media, and repeatedly stated that he had not spent a single lei on the campaign. What could have been unconstitutional in this campaign? The big question is who is behind it? - The Romanian documents do not mention a specific country in relation to foreign interference, but the US Secretary of State named Russia and many people now treat this as a fact. What could be the Russian interest? Why would they have tried to interfere on GEORGESCU's behalf? It is indeed clear that GEORGESCU is, so to speak, pro-Moscow, which was also mentioned with fondness during the campaign? In connection with what happened, one also wonders where the Romanian secret services, the intelligence services, were? How could they not have noticed during the election campaign that someone from somewhere wanted to interfere in this election? (There are analysts who say that it is difficult to sanction communication on social media in a way that does not violate freedom of expression or freedom of speech) What could be the next agenda in Romania now? New presidential elections - but does this mean that the entire election process has to be repeated? With a new candidate nomination, a new campaign? Deadlines and dates are also important - the mandate of the current president Klaus Iohannis runs until December 20, so in principle he will leave his post on December 21 - while there is still no new government formed following the parliamentary elections, no Senate, no head of the Senate who could fill the position of interim president. What can come in Romania in the coming weeks? How did the parliamentary vote held after the invalidated presidential election redraw the map of Romanian domestic politics? What kind of coalition government could come in Romania and could the RMDSZ, which won six and a half percent in the elections, play a role in it?
