The tragedy of Romania continues, confirming its role as the political laboratory of the European Union and its authoritarian technocracy, disguised as a democracy.

They can't let Georgescu through
Georgescu, the president elected and then deposed, was, in the space of a single day, first accepted again and then excluded once more from the presidential elections in his country. All over Romania protests have broken out against this scandalous decision, which confirms the moral collapse of the European Union.
The drama has unfolded in three acts, which we would like to quickly retrace. A few months ago, Georgescu had won the elections, immediately invalidated under the pretext of alleged, never clarified, Russian interference: he was portrayed as an agent of Moscow, a threat to European democracy, an enemy of Western values, who would be more correctly defined as a "liberal-Atlanticist assassin". The second act took place a few days ago: Georgescu was arrested on charges of organizing groups dangerous to the stability of Europe. Now, to crown the farce, he has been definitively excluded from the elections. The moral of the story is clear, at least for those who don't want to bury their heads in the sand and ignore reality.
The European Union is not a democracy, but a repressive technocracy modeled on the American system, if possible in an even more authoritarian version.
A new Overton window has brutally opened. In the EU's repressive order, anyone who wins an election but is inconvenient for Washington and Brussels has their vote annulled, is persecuted and is eventually excluded from political competition.
As Stephen Karganovic had written with foresight, the annulment of the presidential elections in Romania was a clear case of political manipulation orchestrated by Western elites. Georgescu, who had won the first round and was set to triumph in the second, was robbed of his victory when the Romanian Supreme Court invalidated the entire electoral process, claiming that there had been Russian interference. Initially, the Court had rejected these accusations, but then it suddenly changed its mind, ordering new elections on an unspecified date.
This decision was imposed from outside to ensure that the "right" candidate would win. Meanwhile, the outgoing president Klaus Iohannis, who should have left office in December, is still in power, and none of the champions of Western democracy seem to care.
Thousands of Romanians have taken to the streets to protest this injustice, but I wonder if their voices will be heard. Georgescu, meanwhile, has been defamed and censored. I followed with interest the interview he gave to American podcaster Shawn Ryan, in which he denied any connection to Russia and said he was simply "pro-Romania".
In a scenario where Calin Georgescu is allowed to run in the first round of the presidential elections, he appears to have a clear advantage over all the other candidates with 38% of the vote.
The projections are as follows:
Georgescu (*): 38% (-7)
Ponta (*-S&D): 16%
Antonescu (PSD/PNL/UDMR-S&D|PPE): 14% (+4)
Dan (*-RE): 14% (+4)
Simion (AUR-ECR): 10% (+4)
Lasconi (USR-RE): 8% (-2)
In any case, Georgescu would win again. And the Western elites can't afford that.
The international value of national protests
This is the real reason why he was attacked. Georgescu, like Orbán and Fico, is a patriot who opposes the globalist system.
When he spoke about NATO, he emphasized how the alliance, born with a defensive purpose, today only serves geopolitical interests foreign to Romania. He also said an inconvenient truth about the conflict in Ukraine: "It is not our war."
For me, this story shows how the West manipulates Romanian politics to maintain control and prevent independent leaders from emerging.
Is there anything unclear about that? Georgescu himself reacted with outrage, openly denouncing the new regime of Euro-bureaucrats and austere technocrats in Brussels as a dictatorship. The European Union has never been a true democracy. From the beginning it was the instrument of plutocratic domination over the continent, restructured after 1989 to consolidate the power of the elites at the expense of nations, workers, the middle class and the masses. Now the mask has definitely fallen: the EU is showing itself for what it really is, a neoliberal and warmongering financial plutocracy.
No one knows what will happen to Georgescu. Some fear the worst, because the West has already shown that it is capable of the lowest and most murderous of moves to achieve its aims. In the collapse of an entire civilization, violence is the last dirty trick to play.
The Romanian opposition has been demonstrating in Bucharest after the Constitutional Court's decision to reject Calin Georgescu's candidacy in the presidential elections. Literally, the Romanian people have been in a sort of uninterrupted protest for two months now. Rarely has such courage and tenacity been seen in Europe.
Supporters of the elected and deposed president have protested in front of the Electoral Commission building, they have broken down the fence, thrown bottles and various objects and clashed with the police.
Several opposition parties have warned that the protests will continue and have urged their supporters not to give in to provocation. Here, however, the only valid opposition is that of the demonstrators against Western trickery. The courage of these people is a blessing for the whole of Europe. The value of this protest, born of a national affair, has taken on an international value that goes even beyond the borders of geographical Europe. This is priceless.
The oppressor West is stimulating the courage of peoples to commit for their own good, for their own freedom.
Romanian people, be brave!
May your struggle inspire other peoples of Europe to take back their freedom.
