Élites

NATO has annulled the victory of anti-globalist candidate Călin Georgescu in Romania's presidential election, citing alleged security threats and foreign interference, particularly from Russia. A Romanian appeals court upheld this controversial decision, suggesting that the Romanian populace cannot be trusted to elect their leaders. Georgescu, who ran on a nationalist platform and criticized NATO and Western policies, now faces the challenge of appealing this ruling. This incident raises concerns about democracy and the influence of global elites in national politics, as Romania navigates its position between Eastern and Western alliances.
