The results of the December 2024 election, in which right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu placed first, were invalidated over claimed irregularities
Former Romanian presidential candidate Calin Georgescu has called on President Nicusor Dan to share a report on the controversial annulment of the December 2024 election with the U.S. and Israel for independent review.
The conservative frontrunner was removed from the race by the Constitutional Court over alleged irregularities and foreign interference – claims Georgescu has disputed.
Addressing supporters in Bucharest on Tuesday, Georgescu referenced a report that sitting Romanian President Dan is said to have presented to some EU leaders, which purportedly explains why the vote results were initially voided.
“I publicly call on [President Dan] to send the full, unredacted report to two countries capable of independently verifying its contents: the White House, for President [Donald Trump] and Vice President [J.D. Vance], and the State of Israel, for Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu],” Georgescu said.
The former candidate noted that because Romanian authorities had “fabricated” anti-Semitism accusations against him, Israel would have no reason to favor him – ensuring impartiality.
Shortly after the December 2024 election annulment, media reports revealed the Constitutional Court’s claims of irregularities and Russian interference originated from a consulting firm tied to the ruling National Liberal Party.
Nevertheless, Georgescu was later barred from running for president again by the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) over alleged “anti-democratic” and “extremist” views. The former candidate, known for his outspoken criticism of NATO and the EU, is currently under investigation for promoting fascist narratives and plotting a coup.
Last Friday, Georgescu asked Trump to “take care of the situation” in Romania, claiming the local “deep state” had launched an assault on democracy.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in February 2025, Vance condemned “ugly” efforts to block a politician with “an alternative viewpoint” from taking power in Romania.
