Far-right movements and presidential hopeful Calin Georgescu are gaining traction in Romania, reflecting a shift toward nationalism and socially conservative ideologies.

Thousands of people rallied in Bucharest over the weekend to protest against the Constitutional Court’s decision to annul the 2024 presidential elections after Georgescu took a surprise lead.

“The current government should step down and leave the country in the hands of those who truly know how to lead and care about the nation,” one protester said.

“Georgescu has not allowed himself to be corrupted, unlike others. I support him because he is determined to bring the truth to light and to confiscate, as would be fair, all unjustly gained wealth,” the protester added.
