The decision of the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) to invalidate Călin Georgescu’s candidacy marks a turning point for Romanian democracy. This was not just an unprecedented act, but what followed—media manipulation, infiltration of protests by provocateurs, and brutal intervention by security forces—proves that Romania is no longer a democratic state, but one captured by an oligarchic elite imposing its will through force and deception.
This is not just another episode in a dirty electoral game. It is a direct attack on the fundamental right of Romanians to elect and be elected, on the very concept of national sovereignty. We are no longer dealing with a rule-of-law state, but with a regime that is increasingly authoritarian, eliminating any political adversary through methods that have nothing to do with law or democracy.
BEC’s decision is illegal: A direct violation of the constitution
The ruling by the Central Electoral Bureau to block Călin Georgescu’s candidacy is not only immoral but profoundly illegal. This decision was not based on legal arguments but was instead dictated by a political majority, completely disregarding democratic norms and the constitutional rights of citizens.
A violation of the fundamental right to vote and be elected
The BEC decision represents a direct attack on the fundamental principles of democracy, violating two essential rights guaranteed by the Romanian Constitution:
- The right of citizens to freely choose their representatives
- The right of any citizen who meets legal conditions to run for office and be elected
This ruling was not the result of a fair legal debate but rather a political execution, designed to prevent an inconvenient candidate from participating. Călin Georgescu is the victim of repeated abuses by a captured state, which acts against its own citizens to protect the interests of a privileged few.
A captured state, supported by the european bureaucracy
Even worse, this attack on Romanian democracy does not stop at the national level. Over time, it has become clear that the European bureaucracy supports the oligarchy in Bucharest, even when it acts against the interests of its own people.
Brussels does not intervene to correct abuses in Romania; on the contrary, it tacitly validates them. This raises a fundamental question: Who really governs Romania? Is it the Parliament and Government elected by the people, or the power groups pulling the strings behind closed doors, with the blessing of the European Union?
This complicity between Bucharest’s political elites and the European bureaucracy nullifies any notion of national sovereignty and deprives Romanians of their right to determine their own future. When real power is not in the hands of the people but controlled by obscure groups imposing rules through force and manipulation, we are no longer talking about democracy but about an entrenched oligarchic system, sustained by foreign influence.
Protests and the system’s response: Terror, Repression, and Diversion
Romanians immediately reacted to this attack on democracy, taking to the streets in multiple cities across the country. In Bucharest, Timișoara, Cluj, Iași, and Brașov, people chanted “Liberty!” “Down with the Dictatorship!” “Down with the Communists!”, demanding the annulment of BEC’s decision and respect for their democratic rights.
But, as expected, the system could not allow the revolt to grow. The diversion plan was quickly activated: provocateurs were infiltrated into the crowds to create chaos and justify the brutal intervention of the riot police.
As in previous protests, groups of unknown individuals began creating incidents, provoking the police, and escalating tensions. Within moments, riot police received the order to attack protesters with tear gas.
Riot police turn against their own brothers and parents
One of the most outrageous aspects of the repression in the streets is that riot police were ordered to fire tear gas at their own fellow citizens—at their own families, their own parents and siblings.
Faced with such images, the question is simple: Who do these security forces really serve? Are they protecting the people, or are they enforcing the will of an elite that has seized control of the country and is eliminating any form of opposition?
“They are gassing us without mercy! How can you attack your own brothers and parents? Who are you fighting for, if not for the Romanian people?” shouted a protester, his eyes burning from the tear gas.
This brutal attack on peaceful citizens shows exactly who truly fears the people. Instead of dialogue and democracy, the authorities chose force and terror, proving once
