Romania’s Constitutional Court averted a possible national crisis by accepting the candidacies of George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), and Anamaria Gavrilă, leader of the Party of Young People (POT) for the presidential elections in May 2025. The first round of the elections in November 2024 was cancelled at the instance of the globalist European Union after the independent candidate, Călin Georgescu, emerged as the frontrunner. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that elections would be held from scratch in 2025.
After Călin Georgescu lost his final appeal against the decision of the Constitutional Court to cancel his candidacy for the forthcoming election, given that the deadline of May 19, 2025 loomed, George Simion and Anamaria Gavrilă jointly announced that they would submit their candidacies for the Presidency. Both candidates met Georgescu before announcing the decision, adding that if both candidacies were approved, only one would remain in the race, thus keeping the unity of the sovereignist movement intact.
Accordingly, George Simion announced in a post on X (March 18, 2-25), “It’s 100% secure! I will be on the ballot in the presidential elections on May 4. We will win 
It is pertinent that another nationalist candidate, Diana Iovanovici-Șoșoacă, was excluded from the presidential contest on March 15, 2025, for ‘pro-Russian views’.
Given the stakes involved, on March 12, 2025, Simion announced that all AUR MPs have launched a parliamentary strike to protest Călin Georgescu’s disqualification from the presidential polls. All AUR MPs will cease to attend plenary or committee meetings in parliament. In a Facebook post, Simion said, “State institutions have committed an unimaginable abuse against Călin Georgescu. We stand by his side!” AUR had helped collect 200,000 signatures for Georgescu’s candidacy. Supporters hope that Simion will win and give Georgescu the Prime Minister’s post to bolster the forces opposed to the liberal-globalists.
Cancelling Georgescu:
The Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) rejected Georgescu’s candidacy on March 9, 2025, with a 10-4 vote, triggering widespread protests and sharp international criticism. The BEC later admitted that Georgescu’s candidacy was blocked so that the Constitutional Court of Romania would not cancel the elections again.
Georgescu appealed the BEC ruling to the Romanian Constitutional Court (CCR), but the court upheld the decision on March 11, 2025. The ruling is final and binding. Lamenting the death of democracy in Romania, Georgescu posted on X (Twitter), “Today, the masters have decided: no equality, no liberty, no fraternity for Romanians. Long live France and Brussels, long live their colony named Romania.”
As vice president of the European Conservatives and Reformist group in the European Parliament, Simion lambasted the decision as politically motivated, “It was rejected without any reason. All the papers were in good order. We live in a dictatorship. Please help us. Please be on our side to restore democracy in Romania.” He said, “The Deep State wants to ban real opposition, rig the elections, and stay in power at any cost. But we are not afraid! We will fight until our country is free from corruption, censorship, and political persecution.”
Georgescu’s anti-war stance had angered the liberal-globalists in the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), and the run-off election was annulled by the nine-judge Constitutional Court on December 6, 2024, on grounds of alleged illegal use of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, undeclared sources of funding, and “preferential treatment” on social media platforms that allegedly distorted the will of voters. Intelligence sources claimed that Russia had organised a massive social media campaign to promote Georgescu.
Georgescu agrees with Romania remaining in the EU and NATO, but with greater autonomy. He stands for the Orthodox Church, the traditional family, the Romanian language, personal freedom, and domestic sovereignty. Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin called the cancellation of the second round as the “first episode of the insurrection of liberal totalitarian Soros / Schwab Europe against Trump’s America. It can happen that ultra-liberal dictators of EU will confront both the US in the West and Russia in the East.”
Ironically, inquiries by an investigative outlet, snoop.ro, revealed that the TikTok campaign cited in the declassified Romanian intelligence documents as evidence of “foreign interference” in the presidential election was actually funded by the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL). PNL hired the marketing firm Kensington Communication for over One million RON (about $210,000). It coordinated 130 influencers with specific scripts and messaging guidelines. Snoop.ro discovered that the Romanian tax agency had found out that the Liberals had paid for a social media campaign on TikTok through influencers and by promoting a hashtag targeted at another candidate, which inadvertently benefitted Georgescu.
Meanwhile, on December 21, 2024, the term of Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis expired, but like Zelensky and ex-Georgian President Zourabishvili he tried to remain in office. However, as the nationalist parliamentary parties moved to impeach him, he finally resigned on February 10, 2025. Ilie Bolojan is now the acting president.
USAID
Ex-EU Commissioner Thierry Breton in a Facebook post on January 10, 2025 admitted that the EU was responsible for the cancellation of the Romanian elections. “We did it in Romania, and we will do it in Germany if necessary.” At the Munich Security Conference (Feb 14-16, 2025), US Vice President JD Vance hinted that Breton’s remarks showed Europe’s anti-democratic streak, that Breton’s warning that “if things don’t go to plan the very same thing could happen in Germany, too,” were “shocking to American ears.”
Romanians blame USAID, the Soros Network, and Freedom House Romania (funded by USAID), the US Embassy (actively involved in Romanian politics when Antony Blinken was the Secretary of State), and various European embassies and Soros-supported NGOs led by Cristina Guseth. Freedom House with 16 partner NGOs, held extensive “training programs” in which over 400 magistrates and judicial police officers participated in a series of “training seminars” allegedly about anticorruption and public procurement.
Golden Heritage
The priceless Dacian treasure, sent on loan from Romania’s National History Museum to The Netherlands, was stolen there on January 25, 2025. Dutch authorities urged Interpol to help track down the missing pieces. The thieves used explosives to break into the Museum and stole the 2,500-year-old Romanian gold exhibits, including the Cotofanesti helmet and Dacian royal bracelets.
The Cotofenesti helmet is one Romania’s most revered national relics from the Dacian civilisation. It was on a six-month loan when it was stolen. Given the helmet’s fame, experts believe that it would be difficult to sell, and fear that the thieves might melt it for the gold.
On January 26, 2025, AUR said, “The Dacian treasure represents a fundamental part of our national identity, and the loss of such artifacts is an unforgivable act of negligence that cannot go unpunished.” Calin Georgescu demanded the resignation of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Culture for allowing the Dacian Treasure to be sent to The Netherlands. “How is it possible that part of our history is not firmly protected?,” he queried.
Dutch police arrested three suspects but could not recover the golden 2500-year-old helmet. The Netherlands is reputed for its high museum security. The loss at this junction does not bode well for the ruling establishment in Romania.
