I get the point, but the “significant concerns over interference and suspicious funding” should not be treated as “hey this is worrying but let’s let it slide” - if there’s no actual consequence to unchecked, unreported spending, there’s zero incentive to follow the law.

Even if there was no other offense committed by the Georgescu team other than failing to report campaign expenses (fat chance) - that alone should be enough to disqualify him.
Allowing someone to win the presidency through unchecked spending de facto removes the spending rules altogether.

Well done Romanian Constitutional Court 🇷🇴
History is full of “moderate” institutions allowing fascists to bend the rules in the name of keeping the peace, only to do a shocked pilachu face when those fascists abolish said institutions altogether.

The Romanian Supreme Council of National Defense declassified documents revealing 'aggressive Russian hybrid action' during the presidential elections on November 24. 25,000 TikTok bot farm accounts boosted pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu. Large sums were spent, indicating a state operator.

Shit, after two years of struggling between not wanting to support the evil bird but still wanting to hear from some good people, now even @zachlowenba.bsky.social is here, literally nothing of value left (for me) on X. Into the bin forever, not to be missed.
