The support from Romania to Ukraine is much larger than the grain corridor: donation of a Patriot system, training of pilots for F16, export of diesel and gasoline, export of electricity. However, it is true that the Romanian voters are fed-up with the corruption and miss-management of the main parties: PSD (socialists) and PNL (rather conservatives, members of EPP).
we have a eurozone visa... meaning we are not fully asimilated in EU... but we are there for the past 20 years we only needed to adopt the Euro currency, but political interest made sure that will not happen. so while technically u are correct... u are also incorrect... we are part of the countries in eurozone or europe gang... but like a border outsider, that needs 1 more vote to be fully embraced as a member, even though europe milked us dry for workforce and taxes... while also we milked them for non-refundable funds, which evaporated.... so quid pro quo...
You cant just blame tik tok. This ia the fault of the traditional political parties in Romania that have been ruining the country for 30 years. That includes completely destroyibg the educational system so they have plenty of atupid people vote for them,now it bit them in the ass.
Love to our Romanian brothers and allies from Poland! 💪 Stay strong, stay safe, stay with sane government. Together we are safe. Getting strong and rich. 🇵🇱 ❤️ 🇷🇴
that sellout cannot become prez, 1st round was canceled, he will be jailed for treason as soon as investigations finish. and even if he did become prez, the new government will 100% be made of the pro-european block majority (after the pootin stooge extremist parties barely got 30% of parliament - which is still insane to be fair since they did not exist a few years ago)
Romanians voted against the West who is looting Romania. The economy in Romania is in the hands of the West, and we are reduced to working for them for slave wages.
It's not that it is easy. It is just that people had enough with certain corrupt people and parties in our country. But at least our politicians, good or bad, are our own kind. That's why we have law against lobby and political funding if it is not transparent. Thus, when Georgescu had the audacity(among other issues) to declare 0 spending for his campaign, our systems called the BS.
Romanians, I am sure you remember the horrors of the Russian colonisation and your own dictator. Stay strong with us in the EU and NATO family. And get rid of your corrupt politicians. You don´t need to fall for a Russian puppet. Lots of love to the beautiful Romanians. Visited Romania in 2016 and loved it.
Your comment is a total nonsense. Everything is being orchestrated by EU and NATO. Nord Atlantic Terrorist Organisation. You have no idea what are you talking about
We will never forget those times. And as testament for that, the only Russian politician that kept his street name over here is Kiseleff because he was a genuinely chill guy. Ans he lived some 200 years ago... And don't get me wrong, I wish the Russian people realize what's happening and rise up against the bs in their country, as we also know how it is to live in a country where you get punished hard if you don't follow the party lie.
You mean he failed because the judiciary declared elections invalid after the voters voted for the wrong guy? Sorry, but Romanian democracy has now been obliterated.
I wouldn't call this a fail if their candidate would have won but rather a shocking attempt that nearly worked. Hopefully the rest of Europe is watching this closely and adapts acordingly
Putin is better to watch out for workers cuz their patience is ruining out. it is a slow process but they gotta win for sure. So the only left choice left for Russian people is to build workers' democtratic confederation of the Eurasia. Because no one can beath oligarchs better than workers themselves. The February Revolution 2.0 or Russian Revolution of 1905 2.0 is coming, baby.
@@RusuyaDarugawa I mean, The USSR did fail, but compared to this fucking disgrace, it seems positively functional. Russia is somehow the only country to be more functional under communism
@@RusuyaDarugawa I predicted that 20 years ago. My Ukr/Ru friend didn't want another revolution to happen, but really, the chimera that emerged from the 90's needed to morph into something more humane. Putin only went half way so far.
@@TheTudor111 those people do not need social media propaganda to hate their own rulers at the time, they simply look at nato/eu/non-dictatorial countries and their way of life. that was what caused those revolutions not US propaganda, you genius
I live in Romania. I follow the rules. I hope Calin Georgescu doesnt win. I also noticed your twisting presentation of the facts. Calin Georgescu wasnt found by intelligence agencies that he has been helped by moscow financially , the way you presented it , the secret services said it was “foreign intervention” not naming Putin , Kremlin and how they presumably did it.He wasn’t “chosen by Putin” he didnt even mention his name. My fathers a farmer and he made his point regarding the grain import “they make their children starve so that they can keep their neighbours fed and dying on the front”. Many more which i wont go into detail. Just a heads up for future informations you present. They wont be 100% true
the intelligence agencies do in fact say russia. and the "african" FA Agency marketing company which was used to pay social media influencers seems to be a ghost/fake company in Poland with a cheap barebones website (one page, zero info on their business) with russian comments in the source code.
Yesterday I saw some statistics from Eurostat about purchasing power in the EU and Romania was on par with Poland at 80% of the average EU, I don't think that your stats are recent. And Romania is not in Eurozone
that's correct in PPP terms. we are now ahead of Greece, Hungary, Slovakia and Latvia. this is good as we started from well below all current EU members when we joined
Romanians are not opposed to the EU or NATO; rather, they are concerned about the imposition of certain Western agendas in Romania, such as cancel culture, changes in the school curriculum, and concepts like "parent 1 and 2." Issues such as wokeness and LGBTQ+ rights are perceived by some as external influences that may not align with traditional Romanian values.
A yes, so to fix that we just go with the most stupid pupet rusia throws at us. And lets be real, if any1 will try to change how our family structure works, there would be protests. So dont buy this crap with woke shi.t. It doesnt stand in Romania.
Respecting the *equal* rights of *all* citizens, including members of minority groups (such as LGBTQ+), is not "wokeness" but basic human decency and, more to the point of this video, a foundational principle of democracy. Civil society is completely incompatible with the scapegoating of arbitrarily selected (albeit always comparatively powerless) minorities; furthermore, manufacturing and inflaming such phobias has been the main tool for some of the most ruthless dictators in history to seize power. Putin and his minions are themselves complaining about "cancel culture" and "wokeness," and have for the past 15+ years been calling Europe ("Yevropa" in standard Russian) "Gayropa" instead, ostensibly to make it sound decadent and scary in contrast with the "wholesome" (and oh so straight...) image of "mother Russia," ruled by the "savior of Christendom" Putin - cuz being ruled by a KGB poisoner and war criminal is apparently better than being "woke"... Anyway, I am concerned that some of those who claim to care about "traditional Romanian values" (or "traditional Bulgarian values" south of the Danube, etc.) are instead acting as Putin's useful idiots. Greetings from Bulgaria!
Romanian here.. The main reason people voted for him is not propaganda, is because they feel that way. Western Europe treated Romanians and Bulgarians as second class citizens, the 13 years delay on joining Schengen Area is the best example. If Călin Georgescu wouldn’t have won the election, Romania and Bulgaria would still be outside Schengen Area. Now western Europe is trying to fix their wrongdoing and give Eastern Europe that cake we were promised and meet the expectations 13 YEARS AGO!!! Let’s hope this time Europe will integrate all European countries together and no second class citizen anymore
Its more like you did not do your part to integrate. You were on the road but fund out thai is better to play note the eu and Russia to get concessions
@@leonstriker5256 mate you don't know what you're talking about. You are confusing Hungary (most likely) with Romania. Romania was refused Schengen because of Austria, which has a lot of Russian ties.
Not 23% of romanians voted for him, but 23% of around 52% of those with right to vote, so around 11% of all romanians with the right to vote voted for Georgescu.
They are with George Soros's gang of globalists. I'm very disappointment by VisualPolitic I watched them regularly. But they really hit the wall with my country and makes me think that they are not impartial.

Pentru mine ajunge sa vad valurile de comentarii de la conaționalii mei care incearca sa explice cat de naturala este sustinerea fata de CG. Dar in acelasi timp nu imi iese din minte ca, de exemplu, regimul lui Assad era puternic sprininit de Rusia si ca sub acest regim s-au petrecut in Siria niste atrocitati greu de descris. La fel cum a fost sprijinit regimul lui Gheorghiu-Jeg de URSS, regim in care a fost exterminata elita intelectuala a Romaniei. Dar aceeasi conationali care admira o parte a elitei exterminata de comunisti sunt si nostalgici dupa regimul comunist si il si admira pe Putin, desi cei cu sigla in forma de gratar erau cei mai mari rusofobi. Asta este, pr8stia nu doare in Romania. Va pupa Jan! 🎉❤
As a Romanian, I wanted Lasconi to win, because she is pro-EU and pro-NATO. However, I am glad that the vote was nullified and postponed. In my view, any candidate that so much as utters anything that can be perceived as being "pro-Russian", should be automatically disqualified. The question of not supporting NATO is unthinkable. Only Romanians who are pro-west should be on the ballot.
Cancelling the votes because you didnt like who won is not democratic. You basically dont matter. You cant also restrict fellow individuals to run for president just because you think that they are pro russian, otherwise you cant call yourself a "democracy".
@@userAndrew5 Yes. Leave it to a Russian to teach us what Democracy is... "You cant also restrict fellow individuals to run for president just because you think that they are pro russian". Oh yes, we most definitely can, and we did. Foreign interference isn't democracy.
@Burdenist pretty sure? Or 100% sure? It's impossible for me to find a quote that doesn't exist. But if I could remember roughly what he said, I could find that quote. So if you're pretty sure, any idea what that quote sounded like?
As a romanian watching this who's been closely following both sides of the story, I can strongly say you're completely wrong about many things and don't understand what is quite happening with Romania and who is actually controlled by. There are a lot more parties involved at the table and their interests are much bigger than you think.
Yes brother, i'm also romanian. This guy doesn't know anything abour romania but pretends to know how Putin ''manipulated'' the elections and what a good thing is they got canceled. This is the kind of evil maniacs we must face. the west is trying to endoctrinate it's population that they keep us safe and democratic while they are doing the exact opposite. Poeple from other countries watching this video don't care that he doesnt know about romania, they will just leave the video with the false sense that romanian election got hijacked by Russia, and we should be soo thankfull that EU ''saved'' us. It's crazy what's going on. these people are basically cultivating us like cabbage for another war, of for cheap labor, and they want us to be in this sorry state of powerlessness forever. they won't let us vote outside of their system or be sovereign. The decision of CCR hasn't been condemned by any foreign powers, even though anyone knows it's been an attack to democracy.
I just hate people who can't see the bigger picture, and then they have a saying. This Georgescu guy told at least 30 lies and aberrations. I could easily write a book about everything that I learned over these past weeks. Any sane psychologist would see the dark triad personality that this guy has, but I am guessing that ordinary people cannot do that, otherwise they'd know who to vote for. We don't need narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths as leaders. Period.
romania is not fully in eurozone... has a temporary eurozone visa... lets call it... get ur facts checked... its 90% in eurozone, meaning we get 90% of the privileges open borders, vat taxes etc... but we dont have the euro as our currency. thats the only reason we arent yet in eurozone 100% cause we dont use euros as daily basis currency. u can use it... but u need to exchange etc...
Romania is strong democracy and will defeat the russians. South neighbor Bulgaria is in bigger danger, as no independent judge system( most of it under russian control) After 7 parliament elections for 3 years still no government, pro-rusian president and mighty rusian oligarchs with leader Delyan Peevski, who is so close to take all the country on the next elections in spring.
@@Noahvelli21 You are distorting the truth; they declared invalid the first result because of the growing evidence, regarding russia's aggressive interference in favour of kremlin georgescu and the pro-russia's political parties in Romania.
The planet's criminal found the perfect country for his campaign...the poor education system and the highest level of corruption in my country are "perfect" for this attack...i hope that romanians will understand and respect the national anthem and fight for freedom and democracy! 🙏
I agree with most of your comments except the education system. It might be flawed at a lower level but Romanian Universities are highly valued across the globe.
@danielkiraly4868 România mai are doar 2 universități în top 1000 QS 2025...mediocritatea se reflectă mai ales în societate...politicul și corupția macină serios structura democrației!
As someone who's ancestors came from Basarabia and had to flee because of the Soviet annexation in 1940 I was intending to vote for Lasconi because I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who's Pro-Russian. I do think that Kremlin Georgescu is actually a traitor to the nation. But Romania is at a crossroads of history but however we might of smelt blood from Syria in recent days.
Some others will take CG place in the next election scrutiny. Please, frate basarabean, go and support us and vote for a EU candidate when time will come... We ❤ you and we will always support you too!! ✌️❤️
Funny how Romanian history was so easily forgotten!!! a mere 35 years ago, many of our brothers and sisters died fighting a dictator.... Remembrance day should be mandatory in Romania, to remind everyone of what happened and WHY!!! Less focus on LGBT or religion and more on RIGHT and WRONG! Use your brains and see the pattern
@@beatjunkybg Sure, if your understanding of Schengen is limited to border checks. There’s visas and work permits. Romania and Bulgaria became Schengen zone members on 31 March 2024, but border control checks were still performed after that date on the land crossings. And hopefully this will soon end resulting with a boost to the economy of the entire EU. All too late. And all EU citizens have a tiny bit less money in their wallets because of this delay.
Yeah great content, wrong about pretty much everything, using romania as an anti russia scapegoat even though the elections in romania were canceled because we basically have only 1 party which rules romania and they didn't like the result. they didnt have any proof that Russia was involved. Since PSD and PNL merged they can pretty much do whatever.... they controll the justice, media, army..... it's a joke to try to unseat them. But somehow romanians still live under the false sense of democracy. Same with other so called ''european'' parties. they don't hesitate to govern with PSD whenever there is a chance. so it's a done deal, Romania won't exist as a democracy in our life times, not when 1 of the candidates gets thrown out like a dog for no reason.
JOSH - would be a mess if Romania to leave - or even Kicked out of NATO - I've no other Ideas - but it could be a consequence - The Black Sea would again be - Kind of - Russian inland Sea - Can only hope that the People of Romania will Wake up and elect a European- Western-minded Government .-.-.- 🤔🤫🤡👹👺👻
@MrJoergenfoged Why would we leave NATO? Georgescu does not want to leave NATO, the President does not have the power to either. It's a matter for a Referendum and the Constitution.
@RichardThompson-wc3kx I'm referring to the uploaded video from Mr. Josh (Visual Politics) - on the new President of Romania and his "leaning" towards Moscow - I only mentioned ; that IF Romania leaves NATO , that flank on the Southeastern Border toward Russia could be a very weak spot. That was what I (partly) wrote and meant.🤓😎🥸
@MrJoergenfoged Understood and a fair point. He has no leaning towards Moscow. That is just propaganda. He praised Trump, Orban and Putin, in the context of leaders who love their country. He also praised the UK and Israel. He is a Diplomat. He is a Romania-first guy, that wants to protect Romanian security, boost our exports and help our people in poverty here. Pro EU and NATO but as a partner, not a puppy dog. The same as any country with self-respect.
@MrJoergenfoged Yes. By he I meant Georgescu not Josh. I also live in Romania so know a lot more background details like. 1. Georgescu had the help of Trump's Digital Marketing Manager. He has also been portrayed as favourable to the legionnaires who fought Russia in WW2 and as too much of a Romanian nationalist. You can't have it both ways. He is a Romania-first guy, with support from the American right. He is pro EU and NATO but wants to negotiate in the national interest. 2. Half the video was speculation on how Georgescu could be problematic for Ukraine and NATO, so it was okay the election was cancelled. He was going for Romanian President not Ukrainian or NATO. Shouldn't the Romanian people decide? 3. He was projected to win the second round in a landslide. Latest poll had him at 63% and early e diaspora votes were around 80%. 4. Cost of living was a big issue. Romanians are also pro peace, pro family values and very patriotic. So he gathered support. He won the populists, disillusioned and PSD vote, who could not support their rivals USR. 5. He was more experienced. In tough times, who would you vote for? An experienced Diplomat and leader in Sustainable Development at the UN or a TV anchor then mayor of 27.5 people? 6. Ciolacu spent 11m on his campaign. Lasconi spent 7m. They were all over billboards, TV and social media and had vast impressions across all channels. Georgescu went viral as he was an outsider, had a patriotic message people liked and had a smarter campaign strategy (helped by Americans) 7. The Constitutional Court banned another nationalist candidate in what Politico called a Putin style authoritarian ruling, condemned by most parties as an over reach. Georgescu was able to fill that gap and sweet up her voters for free. This was not Russian interference but Romanian. 8. The whole TikTok influence info was actually funded by a Romanian business man who funded multiple political causes and parties. He was investigated and released. His contribution towards Georgescu was 381k euros. 5% of Lasconi's total spend. If we don't want European candidates to be like Russia, stop cancelling elections like they do! We don't want ANY foreign interference. Not from Russia, not from America, not from Ukraine or the EU (whose leaders endorsed s candidate) Have a debate, give people equal time and visibility then let people vote. I am very wary about some of what Georgescu says to be clear but as an analyst, it is easy to see how he won people over, if you understand local concerns and this video lacked key information to spin it at a particular way.
Romanian currency is LEU, not RON (RON is an abbreviation used by Central Bank with other banks. Is the symbol of the currency. E.G. EUR for Euro, HUF for Hungarian Forint).
RON stands for ROmanian New - symbol used after denomination; before denomination the symbol was ROL ( ROmanian Leu). Its been almost 20 years since denomination :)
Romania‘s the poorest country in the eurozone? You expect me to believe the drivel the US embassy told you to write about Georgescu when you don‘t know basic facts about the country you are writing about?
Fairly accurate, Deveselu is however straight West from Bucharest. Oh and Romania is NOT in Eurozone, Bulgaria is much closer to it than we are. Inflation is much lower in Bulgaria (South of Romania) now.
@@DG-sy3rv I know plenty, because I live here. PSD, SRI... They're rooted in Soviet corruption. Please vote for the candidates and parties in which you truly believe. Don't let yourselves be fooled by social media and the press.
Why people votes for Georgescu : he use the phase " I will not take you to war with Russia, they others will" "I will eliberate România from people who don't want that Romania to prosper ", also religious it's very powerful, he possess as a great religios man. The Lascony party voted for outside of the "traditional family" so every Georgescu voter had the argument "the gay people will take your children, the gay will kiss on the streets and your children will look at them " so people had more afraid of the gay people than the war itself.
Hi i'm a romanian, the west isn't a perfect place clearly but if we are talking of a lesser bad choice ... if you are considering this way of thinking, clearly the US/EU/NATO is by far the better choice for Romania...but tell you what, the KGB/China thru the TIKTOK platform did a marvelous job even on a good part of deep thinking people with university studies & especially on the less educated parts of the popullation .... that Georgescu is some kind of saviour and messiah & the most scary thing of this propaganda is that the guy is speaking only gibberish, absolute total nonsense, he even uses quoatess from TV-shows like "The NEWSROOM" or "LOTR" & after that he preaches that water "is not H2O, it's actually liquid information", i Sh*** you not + everything that he says about the economy and severing ties with EU is total apocalypse for the country. But the most important thing is THAT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY CONSTANT REPETITION ON THE TIKTOK PLATFORMS of 30 second videos for this GUY , these people that i'm talking about are telling me that everything that i hear OUTSIDE TIKTOK (& i quoate a friend of mine "the only real truth is on TIKTOK" + he made me a blind idiot) - TIKTOK the platfrom created in a dictatorship country China. P.S.>>> My grandmother was hiding in the corn fields to not get murdered and raped by Russian soldiers when she was a teenage girl in WW2 + russians never did anything good for us or the other small eastern european countries & it's funny that we have so many people that ignore this history and want to befriend - murderous Russia.
BRAVO! Agree 100%. I argued with friends and fallen out because they supported this individual. All you have to see is the Tatulici interview....WTF???
To me this situation is much more like Brexit than most other instances of russian interferens. And Yeah I was in favour of that election being redone, not because it was against what I wanted, but because of the unlawful tactics being used. There are no consequences for winning elections through illegal means if we can not call them off and re do them. the damage that can be done in a single term or in the case of brexit a single election on an issue can be catastrophic, just like brexit
As a Romanian, this video is pretty accurate, with the exception of Romania being in the Eurozone. That said, I'll also double down on this point because you only mentioned it at the end of the video - by far the biggest reason why people voted for Georgescu is because they are fed up with the current political class, especially the two parties who have been in power for years now, PSD and PNL. That's something that we can all agree with, even those of us who are opposed to Georgescu. This hatred towards the political class clouds the judgement, and many people chose to ignore much of the controversy surrounding Georgescu. The vast majority allied behind his claim that he is fully independent and will restructure the current political system. You can debate Georgescu voters online - some of them are indeed nationalists, some of them are EU-skpetics (though I've never seen any who are explicitly Pro-Russia), but their biggest argument by far boils down to voting for Georgescu because they simply don't trust any candidate who has direct political affiliation. Russia's influence is one thing, but the reason it worked in a country that has historically been so skeptical of Russia is because the political class has done a very poor job over the last decade. We've gotten very good at de-masking corruption over the last few years as well, so now the population is very much aware of the shortcomings of the political class, probably more than ever, and people want to see things being addressed at a fundamental level. Hopefully, we can arrive at that level of change without compromising our ideals and giving in to Russian influence and questionable doctrine in the process.
Thank you for a fair and reasonable analysis. The other key reason is experience. Ideology aside, Georgescu has decades of experience in geo strategy, diplomacy and Sustainable Development. Lasconi was a TV anchor then mayor of 27.5 people who broke up a marriage, Simion is 38 and a provacateur not a President. Geoana had experience too but Georgescu was more pro-peace. Most centrists were polling to switch to him in Round 2, especially given a USR and PSD rivalry.
I very much appreciated this vlog. What do I feel will happen? Well, we're still pissed at our politicians here. Okay, we saved the country geopolitically (though that guy's supporters can't fathom the man was a pawn), but the frustration with our politicians is still there. That's not going away anytime soon. Internal progress doesn't seem like it'll happen anytime soon.
1-Calin Georgescu was accused being pro-russion, because is a patriot and not a blind pro-european He said that we should harvest our own ressources instead of giving them for free to foreigners He said that we should renegociate our role in the European Union as equal members not second hand members He said that Romania should increase it's own defence capabilities and not be at the mercy of NATO. In case of war every country will be for it self and help may never arrive He said :"I must work for Romanian people". Every other leader Marecel Ciolacu (PSD), Elena Lasconi(USR), Nicolae Ciuca(PNL) said that the party must win. (The party, not the country) 2- He won the 1st scrutin of elections -with a majoritary vote in rural areas ( with no tic toc or internet access -with the vote of majoritary romanians that live abroad romanian borders, who are majoritari left wing voters ( search the hystory of elections so far) -with majoritary vote in many big cities and countyes. 3- The "Central Bureau of Elections and also the Constitutional Court of Justice validated the 1st round of elections with no problems , no interference and no issues. Here comes the intrigue: ============================== 3-The constitutional court(CCR) void the elections with no legal base. ( CCR can only take act and validate or not at the ending of elections, not to interfere during elections. I remind you that secont round of elections has already started and thousands of people voted for him in diaspora. All the data that CCR had was a vague report, thrown at political command of the current power, that a third party tried to interfere with elections ( Insinuing Russia, but not mentioning Russia) That is why Russian ambasadow was not even summon for questioning, and Russia name was only mentioned by party subordinated press, who made big headlines, avid for views and clickbytes, and not in official report. They have nothing! the same case as in the Donald Trump campaign, because it is easy to denigrate someone and is extremely difficult to make clean once the image is tainted. -the second scrutin of elections has started, thousands of romanians already voted, and was clear that everyone expected Calin Georgescu to win. Elena Lasconi was another Kamala Harris, with a past of drinking, huge political contradictions, inconsistent in speach, with poor foreign policy knowledge, and with a bisexual daughter competing for a majority orthodox mass of voters. All three parties (PSD, PNL and USR) who individually had separate visions and they throw mud one in the other allied in agony , not being able to find a leader to promote in the second tour of scrutin, beig forced to ask their voters to vote for Elena LAsconi. Was a political fiasco for them at the start. The CCR had done an unthinkable shooting in the own leg. They cancel the second round of elections, and they canceld also the first round, who was already validated by them. So where is the law?? If you go to get married and after you say yes and spend the wedding night change your mind and say you are not agree with the marital proposal??? :) This is Hilarious CCR is made of 9 Judges ( 4 nominated by PSD and 4 nominated by PNL and 1 by other party.) You see the rotten apple? When the parties in power saw thay are going to lose they use their own corrupt judges, nominated and loyal to the party. 30 years of corruption ====================== During the 35 years from the 1989 revolution, at the power were only big mouth thiefs and incompetent leaders, numerous corruption scandals and rare jail sentince given to politicians. Not even one case of recovery of the prejudice. So this was a massive vote for Calin Georgescu , the patriot( not pro russion) and also a massive vote against the leaders of existing ruling power. And the agrigulture issue regarding Ukrainian grains that you said it's over two years old, it is not. Romanian farmers, in the breack of bankrupty , are forced to work under strict EU regulations,with verry little support from EU and by contrast cheap Ukrainian grains, with chemicals and genetically modified fooded Romanian market. I hope I show you another face of the coin, that in wich Calin Georgescu did not stole Romanian elections with TIKTOK. He was robed in the middle of the day by CCR (9 corrupt judges who voided free will vote of millions of Romanians.
As a Romanian I disagree the EU and NATO dosent want us to become strong we have gold mines we arnt allowed to acces because of EU they don’t wana let us mine in ower own cauntry
so let me get this right... your video supports NATO so you want to subvert Romanians right to choose and called the guy Russian pupet even though he ran on the rights for Romanians... so you basicaly dont want them to have freedom to choose
have you ever hear the term "fair elections"? i guess not since you don't seem to want fair elections, you prefer to blindly vote for a traitor who tried to destroy democracy in Romania.
CG is a traitor. If it was someone who foreign policy is similar to those of Javier Milei in Argentina or Giorgia Meloni in Italy then this situation wouldn't happen in the first place. Romania joined NATO for a good reason. Russia had invaded us so many times before and they stole Basarabia and also the treasure.
His network expends in the monasteries and churches .... don`t forget 80% of Romanians are religious and the recommendations from the monks and priests are followed.
You are talking nonsense. Rumenia is not a Euro currency country. Even Bulgaria is closer to being admitted into the euro zone, much earlier than Rumenia.
@@mimisor66 agree. neither Poland and Hungary are hurried. Bulgaria, with its monetary council is a good example of what the lack of own monetary policy could mean to the economy. Greece is another example
We, from all over Romania and abroad support Georgescu. The fact that the results are nullified shows us that NATO and the Occident are intervening in our elections.
they only intervene when they are scared so the fact is that nato is scared of the Romanian people as much as they fear the Russians. they are throwing a tantrum is all because they dont have the peoples blessing.
Romania is too marginalized, we're tired of only work and do nothing else. 2/3 of my friends voted Calin Georgescu. Why that? Because currently we're held at the limit of survival. We're tired of paying more taxes than money we earn.
Who the hell are you to support illegal activities? If CG wanted to be president then he should have not used illegal financing during his campaign. because of this pathetic excuse of a pro-russian human now we have to spend more money to redo the elections.
Well no one has proved nothing in this regard only the Mainstream Media which is own by Soros &Company and obviously those who own the power in Bruxelles and Bucharest those whom are afraid that they will loose the power and Romania will get in a better position with mr Calin Georgescu as President! And those like you!
Putin cant even compromise a Moldavian vote, a tiny nation, but sure can do Romania ... Thats plain rusophobia and pro oligarchy discourse. Im not friend of Putin, but i dont blame him for what he cant do
Unfortunately, extremism is growing in Romania as it does in other Europe countries, funded by Russia who wants a week EU. Many people are not happy with the current economical situation even though being part of EU helped Romania a lot and EU and NATO is by far the best option that Romania needs to follow. The fact that Romania and Bulgaria were not accepted into the Schengen zone by Austria for political reasons also increased the Euroscepticism. Tik-Tok videos promising a great revolution helped this anonymous candidate win the first round but then people went out for protests against him and press brought out who he actually was. There were low chances that he could win the 2nd (and final) round but the best decision was taken, not to take the risks and revoke the elections. Still, extremists parties managed to gather @30% in the parliamentary elections. It is very important that reforms are made inside EU and all members have a better feeling that being part of this economical alliance has a great benefit for everyone, so that the extremist parties popularity shrink.
@@ovibrz but what does not help is the EU fuelling this development by forcing the established parties to speedrun the introduction of rainbow policies in societies that are not ready for it. Women with beards are not worth accelerating the decline of democracies, imho.
@@ovibrz and I am not convinced at all that cancelling election results that the establishment does not like is a good idea. It seems rather clear that this is only adding more fuel to the fire. People who are not satisfied were always told they could vote. Now they do vote, and their votes get cancelled!! Putin does not even need to spread fake conspiracy theories anymore, as reality speaks for itself. At the same time, this anti-democratic move is likely to encourage established parties in other countries to try and repeat it, thus ending democracy in Europe.
"founded by Russia". Really? The fact that the EU kept Romania at Schengen door for 14 years even tho we meet all the criteria. The fact that romanians are treated as second class citizens in the EU makes me sick. EU itself is increasing euro skepticism in Romania by how they treat us.
@@TheShalalaiLithuania? Trust me joining the Eurozone is great for your country it has meant faster economic growth and Lithuania is together with Estonia among the richest countries that separated from the USSR
@herodesees3767 not really GDP and PPP of baltic countries are inflated just like in Ireland is. I would even say that us joining EU was not that wise either as we lost 1/3 of population, well obviously that helped artificialy boost GDP, but that's about it.
@@TheShalalai what are you talking about? Quick calculations show that Lithuania has lost about 15% population since 2004 when it joined the EU but it already lost the other 15% before joining and the population has been growing again recently. Sure I believe the low-tax jurisdiction shows inflated GPD per Capita but just like Ireland, Lithuania has had low tax regimes precisely as an effort to turn from a poor country into a much richer country by attracting business and foreign investment
@@TheShalalai the lost population is seen all over Eastern European economies such as Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Albania.... not just EU countries and is mostly a result of the economic uncertainty in the 1990s in that part of Europe that caused low birth rates, people leaving the country etc
For those wondering what the heck is happening in Romania, let me shed some light on the political culture of the country. From 1947 to 1989, Romania was under Soviet influence as a socialist state. Before that, it was a monarchy - under the King of Romania. The country has never experienced a true capitalist system. Like in the U.S. during the Trump campaign, Romanian media is controlled by political parties distorting the truth to serve their interests. Similar to the United States, Romanian mainstream media is entirely controlled by various political parties-there are many in Romania, and most of them have former communist leaders. This means they distort and present the truth in ways that serve their political agendas and the interests of those in power. As for "free" elections, they have effectively never existed. Political parties nominate their own candidates, who are then heavily promoted by the media they control. To ease corruption, the political class in Romania is disproportionately large: consider the comparison: Romania has a population of 19,054,550 (Q1 2024) and a bicameral Parliament consisting of 330 Deputies and 136 Senators. In contrast, the United States, with a population of 341,963,408, has 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. Georgescu emerged as an anomaly in this corrupt political system. An independent candidate but well-known by many Romanians, he was intentionally excluded from all mainstream media presidential debates. Yet, he won by leveraging the increasingly relevant platform - the Internet, via social media, podcasts etc - much like former U.S. President Donald Trump did. People listened to him, did their own research, and voted overwhelmingly for him. The corrupt political class is now in a panic, deploying the same tactics once used against Trump. Claims that Georgescu is "sold to the Russians" (false) or a "fascist sympathizer" (also false) have flooded the discourse. Unfortunately, Romania’s political and judicial systems remain deeply influenced by Stalinist principles. This is evidenced by practices like manipulating election outcomes in Josef Stalin's way: "it doesn’t matter how people vote as long as we count the votes", or operating Beria’s infamous order, "Show me the man, and I will show you the crime." You will see lots of arrests and show trials in the months to come. The current political elite prioritizes war and globalization, but this vision is not shared by the Romanian people. Unfortunately, Romania’s political and judicial systems still follow Stalinist principles, manipulating votes and using accusations to target opponents. While the political class pushes for war and globalization, Georgescu’s rise reflects the people’s growing rejection of these priorities and their demand for real change.
Dude, what are u talking about??😂😂 Calin Georgescu was doing scam sustainability pitches in the '90s for PDSR and PD and later for PSD. The guy is a fraud and a pure blood communist and opportunist. Do your own research if you are a real person. Read about the Gerasimov Doctrine, follow the money and connect the dots.
WOW, a lot of strong statements were made here. Someone was a good student at the Atlantic Council journalist training! After all, people did vote for him, it is not like they changed the ballots in the bag, right!
he declared zero campaign funds, yet secret services uncovered tens of millions in a giant tiktok network + millions in paying off influencers to campaign for him. those funds were external, he broke the law, he barely got 22% of the votes and would`ve been crushed in the 2nd round anyway. beyond this, the next parliament is super-majority pro-western and the next government is 100% pro-western. so learn more or don't comment if you are clueless

The support from Romania to Ukraine is much larger than the grain corridor: donation of a Patriot system, training of pilots for F16, export of diesel and gasoline, export of electricity. However, it is true that the Romanian voters are fed-up with the corruption and miss-management of the main parties: PSD (socialists) and PNL (rather conservatives, members of EPP).

I'm always amazed how people are so easily fooled to vote against their own intrest.
Romanians voted against the West who is looting Romania.
The economy in Romania is in the hands of the West, and we are reduced to working for them for slave wages.
When you have 50% of the population functional illiterate.....it's possible! Believe me ...because I'm Romanian and i live between them 🥴!
It's not that it is easy. It is just that people had enough with certain corrupt people and parties in our country. But at least our politicians, good or bad, are our own kind. That's why we have law against lobby and political funding if it is not transparent. Thus, when Georgescu had the audacity(among other issues) to declare 0 spending for his campaign, our systems called the BS.
Romanians, I am sure you remember the horrors of the Russian colonisation and your own dictator. Stay strong with us in the EU and NATO family. And get rid of your corrupt politicians. You don´t need to fall for a Russian puppet. Lots of love to the beautiful Romanians. Visited Romania in 2016 and loved it.
Be sure we will never forget and forgive.
Your comment is a total nonsense. Everything is being orchestrated by EU and NATO. Nord Atlantic Terrorist Organisation. You have no idea what are you talking about
We will stay in the EU and... We will elect Calin Georgescu as president.
We will never forget those times. And as testament for that, the only Russian politician that kept his street name over here is Kiseleff because he was a genuinely chill guy. Ans he lived some 200 years ago...
And don't get me wrong, I wish the Russian people realize what's happening and rise up against the bs in their country, as we also know how it is to live in a country where you get punished hard if you don't follow the party lie.
Let me rephrase that. "Putin isn't using Romania" Putin is TRYING to use Romania but failed missarably
Exactly.
let's make sure that he KEEPS on failing.
You mean he failed because the judiciary declared elections invalid after the voters voted for the wrong guy? Sorry, but Romanian democracy has now been obliterated.

Romanians are not opposed to the EU or NATO; rather, they are concerned about the imposition of certain Western agendas in Romania, such as cancel culture, changes in the school curriculum, and concepts like "parent 1 and 2." Issues such as wokeness and LGBTQ+ rights are perceived by some as external influences that may not align with traditional Romanian values.
A yes, so to fix that we just go with the most stupid pupet rusia throws at us. And lets be real, if any1 will try to change how our family structure works, there would be protests. So dont buy this crap with woke shi.t. It doesnt stand in Romania.
Respecting the *equal* rights of *all* citizens, including members of minority groups (such as LGBTQ+), is not "wokeness" but basic human decency and, more to the point of this video, a foundational principle of democracy. Civil society is completely incompatible with the scapegoating of arbitrarily selected (albeit always comparatively powerless) minorities; furthermore, manufacturing and inflaming such phobias has been the main tool for some of the most ruthless dictators in history to seize power. Putin and his minions are themselves complaining about "cancel culture" and "wokeness," and have for the past 15+ years been calling Europe ("Yevropa" in standard Russian) "Gayropa" instead, ostensibly to make it sound decadent and scary in contrast with the "wholesome" (and oh so straight...) image of "mother Russia," ruled by the "savior of Christendom" Putin - cuz being ruled by a KGB poisoner and war criminal is apparently better than being "woke"... Anyway, I am concerned that some of those who claim to care about "traditional Romanian values" (or "traditional Bulgarian values" south of the Danube, etc.) are instead acting as Putin's useful idiots.

La fel cum a fost sprijinit regimul lui Gheorghiu-Jeg de URSS, regim in care a fost exterminata elita intelectuala a Romaniei. Dar aceeasi conationali care admira o parte a elitei exterminata de comunisti sunt si nostalgici dupa regimul comunist si il si admira pe Putin, desi cei cu sigla in forma de gratar erau cei mai mari rusofobi.

That was what I (partly) wrote and meant.🤓😎🥸
@MrJoergenfoged Understood and a fair point.
He has no leaning towards Moscow. That is just propaganda. He praised Trump, Orban and Putin, in the context of leaders who love their country. He also praised the UK and Israel. He is a Diplomat.
He is a Romania-first guy, that wants to protect Romanian security, boost our exports and help our people in poverty here.
Pro EU and NATO but as a partner, not a puppy dog. The same as any country with self-respect.
@RichardThompson-wc3kx Have you watched that upload from Josh on VisualPolitik EN?
@MrJoergenfoged Yes. By he I meant Georgescu not Josh. I also live in Romania so know a lot more background details like.
1. Georgescu had the help of Trump's Digital Marketing Manager. He has also been portrayed as favourable to the legionnaires who fought Russia in WW2 and as too much of a Romanian nationalist. You can't have it both ways. He is a Romania-first guy, with support from the American right. He is pro EU and NATO but wants to negotiate in the national interest.
2. Half the video was speculation on how Georgescu could be problematic for Ukraine and NATO, so it was okay the election was cancelled. He was going for Romanian President not Ukrainian or NATO. Shouldn't the Romanian people decide?
3. He was projected to win the second round in a landslide. Latest poll had him at 63% and early e
diaspora votes were around 80%.
4. Cost of living was a big issue. Romanians are also pro peace, pro family values and very patriotic. So he gathered support. He won the populists, disillusioned and PSD vote, who could not support their rivals USR.
5. He was more experienced. In tough times, who would you vote for? An experienced Diplomat and leader in Sustainable Development at the UN or a TV anchor then mayor of 27.5 people?
6. Ciolacu spent 11m on his campaign. Lasconi spent 7m. They were all over billboards, TV and social media and had vast impressions across all channels. Georgescu went viral as he was an outsider, had a patriotic message people liked and had a smarter campaign strategy (helped by Americans)
7. The Constitutional Court banned another nationalist candidate in what Politico called a Putin style authoritarian ruling, condemned by most parties as an over reach. Georgescu was able to fill that gap and sweet up her voters for free. This was not Russian interference but Romanian.
8. The whole TikTok influence info was actually funded by a Romanian business man who funded multiple political causes and parties. He was investigated and released. His contribution towards Georgescu was 381k euros. 5% of Lasconi's total spend.
If we don't want European candidates to be like Russia, stop cancelling elections like they do!
We don't want ANY foreign interference. Not from Russia, not from America, not from Ukraine or the EU (whose leaders endorsed s candidate)
Have a debate, give people equal time and visibility then let people vote. I am very wary about some of what Georgescu says to be clear but as an analyst, it is easy to see how he won people over, if you understand local concerns and this video lacked key information to spin it at a particular way.
Romania would be going backwards by joining up with Russia, Russia is so weak, its collapse will mean Romania's collapse. GL
we will fight to maintain our Euroatlantic course !

Romania is not in Eurozone, we are the same as Bulgaria from this regard. (We are in EU, we do not have the euro)
15:21 Romania isnt in the Euro zone at all. It uses its national currency RON
Romanian currency is LEU, not RON (RON is an abbreviation used by Central Bank with other banks. Is the symbol of the currency. E.G. EUR for Euro, HUF for Hungarian Forint).
RON stands for ROmanian New - symbol used after denomination; before denomination the symbol was ROL ( ROmanian Leu).
Its been almost 20 years since denomination :)

Fairly accurate, Deveselu is however straight West from Bucharest. Oh and Romania is NOT in Eurozone, Bulgaria is much closer to it than we are. Inflation is much lower in Bulgaria (South of Romania) now.

I think it is good that the court intervened. It basically defended democracy and saved a lot of lives and a lot of headaches for millions of people!
i agree
brother, stop spreading fake news on the networks, you are on the outside like an apartment balcony.
Why people votes for Georgescu : he use the phase " I will not take you to war with Russia, they others will" "I will eliberate România from people who don't want that Romania to prosper ", also religious it's very powerful, he possess as a great religios man. The Lascony party voted for outside of the "traditional family" so every Georgescu voter had the argument "the gay people will take your children, the gay will kiss on the streets and your children will look at them " so people had more afraid of the gay people than the war itself.
Hi i'm a romanian, the west isn't a perfect place clearly but if we are talking of a lesser bad choice ... if you are considering this way of thinking, clearly the US/EU/NATO is by far the better choice for Romania...but tell you what, the KGB/China thru the TIKTOK platform did a marvelous job even on a good part of deep thinking people with university studies & especially on the less educated parts of the popullation .... that Georgescu is some kind of saviour and messiah & the most scary thing of this propaganda is that the guy is speaking only gibberish, absolute total nonsense, he even uses quoatess from TV-shows like "The NEWSROOM" or "LOTR" & after that he preaches that water "is not H2O, it's actually liquid information", i Sh*** you not + everything that he says about the economy and severing ties with EU is total apocalypse for the country. But the most important thing is THAT THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY CONSTANT REPETITION ON THE TIKTOK PLATFORMS of 30 second videos for this GUY , these people that i'm talking about are telling me that everything that i hear OUTSIDE TIKTOK (& i quoate a friend of mine "the only real truth is on TIKTOK" + he made me a blind idiot) - TIKTOK the platfrom created in a dictatorship country China. P.S.>>> My grandmother was hiding in the corn fields to not get murdered and raped by Russian soldiers when she was a teenage girl in WW2 + russians never did anything good for us or the other small eastern european countries & it's funny that we have so many people that ignore this history and want to befriend - murderous Russia.
BRAVO! Agree 100%. I argued with friends and fallen out because they supported this individual. All you have to see is the Tatulici interview....WTF???
1. Romania is not in the Eurozone
2. As far as living standards, Romania is the second lowest HDI in the EU, after Bulgaria.
We want peace and the war in Ukraine to cease. Rusia, please, mind your own business and everything will be fine for all of us :)
To me this situation is much more like Brexit than most other instances of russian interferens. And Yeah I was in favour of that election being redone, not because it was against what I wanted, but because of the unlawful tactics being used. There are no consequences for winning elections through illegal means if we can not call them off and re do them. the damage that can be done in a single term or in the case of brexit a single election on an issue can be catastrophic, just like brexit
Well said!!!
next time show some proof for ur big claims buddy
As a Romanian, this video is pretty accurate, with the exception of Romania being in the Eurozone. That said, I'll also double down on this point because you only mentioned it at the end of the video - by far the biggest reason why people voted for Georgescu is because they are fed up with the current political class, especially the two parties who have been in power for years now, PSD and PNL. That's something that we can all agree with, even those of us who are opposed to Georgescu.
This hatred towards the political class clouds the judgement, and many people chose to ignore much of the controversy surrounding Georgescu. The vast majority allied behind his claim that he is fully independent and will restructure the current political system.
You can debate Georgescu voters online - some of them are indeed nationalists, some of them are EU-skpetics (though I've never seen any who are explicitly Pro-Russia), but their biggest argument by far boils down to voting for Georgescu because they simply don't trust any candidate who has direct political affiliation.
Russia's influence is one thing, but the reason it worked in a country that has historically been so skeptical of Russia is because the political class has done a very poor job over the last decade. We've gotten very good at de-masking corruption over the last few years as well, so now the population is very much aware of the shortcomings of the political class, probably more than ever, and people want to see things being addressed at a fundamental level.
Hopefully, we can arrive at that level of change without compromising our ideals and giving in to Russian influence and questionable doctrine in the process.
Thank you for a fair and reasonable analysis. The other key reason is experience. Ideology aside, Georgescu has decades of experience in geo strategy, diplomacy and Sustainable Development. Lasconi was a TV anchor then mayor of 27.5 people who broke up a marriage, Simion is 38 and a provacateur not a President.
Geoana had experience too but Georgescu was more pro-peace.
Most centrists were polling to switch to him in Round 2, especially given a USR and PSD rivalry.
Democracy, as long as "the right candidate" wins... Sounds like the EU, North Korean style
Thank you for telling the truth! Ignore any hate comments from zombified romanians.
We love democracy ...
unless the guy we don't like gets voted in!
Priceless your comment ,reflecting the reality in Romanian Presidential elections my friend!
we do love it and want no interference by other states
No, you dolt. Unless foreign unwanted influence interferes in our election.

@@mariuspuiu9555 Just because you said he broke the law does not mean he did :)

Very accurate, great job! 👍
I very much appreciated this vlog. What do I feel will happen? Well, we're still pissed at our politicians here. Okay, we saved the country geopolitically (though that guy's supporters can't fathom the man was a pawn), but the frustration with our politicians is still there. That's not going away anytime soon. Internal progress doesn't seem like it'll happen anytime soon.
Liana, perfection! People want change...but this is not the kind they want...
1-Calin Georgescu was accused being pro-russion, because is a patriot and not a blind pro-european
He said that we should harvest our own ressources instead of giving them for free to foreigners
He said that we should renegociate our role in the European Union as equal members not second hand members
He said that Romania should increase it's own defence capabilities and not be at the mercy of NATO.
In case of war every country will be for it self and help may never arrive
He said :"I must work for Romanian people". Every other leader Marecel Ciolacu (PSD), Elena Lasconi(USR), Nicolae Ciuca(PNL) said that the party must win. (The party, not the country)
2- He won the 1st scrutin of elections
-with a majoritary vote in rural areas ( with no tic toc or internet access
-with the vote of majoritary romanians that live abroad romanian borders, who are majoritari left wing voters ( search the hystory of elections so far)
-with majoritary vote in many big cities and countyes.
3- The "Central Bureau of Elections and also the Constitutional Court of Justice validated the 1st round of elections with no problems , no interference and no issues.
Here comes the intrigue:
==============================
3-The constitutional court(CCR) void the elections with no legal base. ( CCR can only take act and validate or not at the ending of elections, not to interfere during elections. I remind you that secont round of elections has already started and thousands of people voted for him in diaspora.
All the data that CCR had was a vague report, thrown at political command of the current power, that a third party tried to interfere with elections ( Insinuing Russia, but not mentioning Russia)
That is why Russian ambasadow was not even summon for questioning, and Russia name was only mentioned by party subordinated press, who made big headlines, avid for views and clickbytes, and not in official report. They have nothing! the same case as in the Donald Trump campaign, because it is easy to denigrate someone and is extremely difficult to make clean once the image is tainted.
-the second scrutin of elections has started, thousands of romanians already voted, and was clear that everyone expected Calin Georgescu to win. Elena Lasconi was another Kamala Harris, with a past of drinking, huge political contradictions, inconsistent in speach, with poor foreign policy knowledge, and with a bisexual daughter competing for a majority orthodox mass of voters.
All three parties (PSD, PNL and USR) who individually had separate visions and they throw mud one in the other allied in agony , not being able to find a leader to promote in the second tour of scrutin, beig forced to ask their voters to vote for Elena LAsconi. Was a political fiasco for them at the start.
The CCR had done an unthinkable shooting in the own leg. They cancel the second round of elections, and they canceld also the first round, who was already validated by them.
So where is the law?? If you go to get married and after you say yes and spend the wedding night change your mind and say you are not agree with the marital proposal??? :) This is Hilarious
CCR is made of 9 Judges ( 4 nominated by PSD and 4 nominated by PNL and 1 by other party.) You see the rotten apple? When the parties in power saw thay are going to lose they use their own corrupt judges, nominated and loyal to the party.
30 years of corruption
======================
During the 35 years from the 1989 revolution, at the power were only big mouth thiefs and incompetent leaders, numerous corruption scandals and rare jail sentince given to politicians. Not even one case of recovery of the prejudice.
So this was a massive vote for Calin Georgescu , the patriot( not pro russion) and also a massive vote against the leaders of existing ruling power.
And the agrigulture issue regarding Ukrainian grains that you said it's over two years old, it is not. Romanian farmers, in the breack of bankrupty , are forced to work under strict EU regulations,with verry little support from EU and by contrast cheap Ukrainian grains, with chemicals and genetically modified fooded Romanian market.
I hope I show you another face of the coin, that in wich Calin Georgescu did not stole Romanian elections with TIKTOK. He was robed in the middle of the day by CCR (9 corrupt judges who voided free will vote of millions of Romanians.
What BS… if an anti Russian underdog won, everyone in the west would be clapping
the only BS i've seen these days from the cult of CG.
As a Romanian I disagree the EU and NATO dosent want us to become strong we have gold mines we arnt allowed to acces because of EU they don’t wana let us mine in ower own cauntry
so let me get this right... your video supports NATO so you want to subvert Romanians right to choose and called the guy Russian pupet even though he ran on the rights for Romanians... so you basicaly dont want them to have freedom to choose
have you ever hear the term "fair elections"? i guess not since you don't seem to want fair elections, you prefer to blindly vote for a traitor who tried to destroy democracy in Romania.
CG is a traitor. If it was someone who foreign policy is similar to those of Javier Milei in Argentina or Giorgia Meloni in Italy then this situation wouldn't happen in the first place. Romania joined NATO for a good reason. Russia had invaded us so many times before and they stole Basarabia and also the treasure.
His network expends in the monasteries and churches .... don`t forget 80% of Romanians are religious and the recommendations from the monks and priests are followed.
You are talking nonsense. Rumenia is not a Euro currency country. Even Bulgaria is closer to being admitted into the euro zone, much earlier than Rumenia.
We don't really want to enter the eurozone. We really want to keep our currency and thus our monetary policies.
@@mimisor66 agree. neither Poland and Hungary are hurried. Bulgaria, with its monetary council is a good example of what the lack of own monetary policy could mean to the economy. Greece is another example
@@mimisor66 I don't want to exchange money. I want simplicity and no loses at exchange
@mimisor66 îs a troll
We, from all over Romania and abroad support Georgescu. The fact that the results are nullified shows us that NATO and the Occident are intervening in our elections.
they only intervene when they are scared so the fact is that nato is scared of the Romanian people as much as they fear the Russians. they are throwing a tantrum is all because they dont have the peoples blessing.
Daaaaaaaang shame on you visualpolitic for these lies
Romania is too marginalized, we're tired of only work and do nothing else. 2/3 of my friends voted Calin Georgescu. Why that?
Because currently we're held at the limit of survival. We're tired of paying more taxes than money we earn.
Romania has the right to choose who they want.
Who are you guys to tell us who to elect?
Who the hell are you to support illegal activities? If CG wanted to be president then he should have not used illegal financing during his campaign. because of this pathetic excuse of a pro-russian human now we have to spend more money to redo the elections.
Were you part of the elites in the communist era, tovarisch ??? You missed them, right?
Romania is not in the Euro zone. We have our national currency, the RON.
Your are simply another BBC!!!
better than being RT.
none of this is proven of facts.
Very good material! Thank you!
Actually, his initial score was around 3 to 4%.
It would be useful to have some romanian subtitles, but I'm afraid mr Georgescu's supporters don't know how to read 😢
😂😂😂
Fact
Don’t be so sure Brie.
Suporters of Elena Lasconi are already dressed up as non binary.
A few rebels just showed a super-power how a 3 days military operation is done.
What actually happened: Johannis performed a coup and blamed it on Putin.
WTF??? Ba' voi chiar sunteti batuti in cap??? Daca asa gandesc majoritatea, atunci romanii chiar isi merita soarta care va veni sub Georgescu
Poor Syrian people. We will soon see Afganistan 2.😢
Just because Georgescu doesn't support Ukraine and isn't a sellout for Romania doesn't mean he is pro Russian etc.
He is not Moscow puppet
Este omul rusilor plasat sa inrobeasca tara
Well no one has proved nothing in this regard only the Mainstream Media which is own by Soros &Company and obviously those who own the power in Bruxelles and Bucharest those whom are afraid that they will loose the power and Romania will get in a better position with mr Calin Georgescu as President!
And those like you!
of course, we all trust you! 🤣🤣🤣
no, he's a Putin puppet.
No, only putin puppet
Putin cant even compromise a Moldavian vote, a tiny nation, but sure can do Romania ...
Thats plain rusophobia and pro oligarchy discourse. Im not friend of Putin, but i dont blame him for what he cant do
What a load of nonsense! im Romanian and i can attest that this is dirty propaganda which we are more than used to and also sick of.

that's the same jew soros that turned ukraine upside down with his propaganda for 3 decades

15:20 - Romania is NOT in the Eurozone
Great video, but Romania isn't in the euro zone yet, different currency.
Unfortunately, extremism is growing in Romania as it does in other Europe countries, funded by Russia who wants a week EU. Many people are not happy with the current economical situation even though being part of EU helped Romania a lot and EU and NATO is by far the best option that Romania needs to follow. The fact that Romania and Bulgaria were not accepted into the Schengen zone by Austria for political reasons also increased the Euroscepticism. Tik-Tok videos promising a great revolution helped this anonymous candidate win the first round but then people went out for protests against him and press brought out who he actually was. There were low chances that he could win the 2nd (and final) round but the best decision was taken, not to take the risks and revoke the elections. Still, extremists parties managed to gather @30% in the parliamentary elections.
It is very important that reforms are made inside EU and all members have a better feeling that being part of this economical alliance has a great benefit for everyone, so that the extremist parties popularity shrink.
@@ovibrz but what does not help is the EU fuelling this development by forcing the established parties to speedrun the introduction of rainbow policies in societies that are not ready for it. Women with beards are not worth accelerating the decline of democracies, imho.
@@ovibrz and I am not convinced at all that cancelling election results that the establishment does not like is a good idea. It seems rather clear that this is only adding more fuel to the fire. People who are not satisfied were always told they could vote. Now they do vote, and their votes get cancelled!! Putin does not even need to spread fake conspiracy theories anymore, as reality speaks for itself. At the same time, this anti-democratic move is likely to encourage established parties in other countries to try and repeat it, thus ending democracy in Europe.
Lol Eu is already weak
"founded by Russia". Really? The fact that the EU kept Romania at Schengen door for 14 years even tho we meet all the criteria. The fact that romanians are treated as second class citizens in the EU makes me sick. EU itself is increasing euro skepticism in Romania by how they treat us.
I've never seen so much bs in a 19 min video before..
Pure propaganda.
Putin is paying not just georgescu but all aur party. plz help us to have democratic ellections next year!!!

Mate, we are not in the euro 💶 zone , unfortunately.
We joined eurozone in 2015, worst decision ever made trust me you don't want it.
@@TheShalalaiLithuania? Trust me joining the Eurozone is great for your country it has meant faster economic growth and Lithuania is together with Estonia among the richest countries that separated from the USSR
@herodesees3767 not really GDP and PPP of baltic countries are inflated just like in Ireland is.
I would even say that us joining EU was not that wise either as we lost 1/3 of population, well obviously that helped artificialy boost GDP, but that's about it.
@@TheShalalai what are you talking about? Quick calculations show that Lithuania has lost about 15% population since 2004 when it joined the EU but it already lost the other 15% before joining and the population has been growing again recently. Sure I believe the low-tax jurisdiction shows inflated GPD per Capita but just like Ireland, Lithuania has had low tax regimes precisely as an effort to turn from a poor country into a much richer country by attracting business and foreign investment
@@TheShalalai the lost population is seen all over Eastern European economies such as Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Georgia, Albania.... not just EU countries and is mostly a result of the economic uncertainty in the 1990s in that part of Europe that caused low birth rates, people leaving the country etc
For those wondering what the heck is happening in Romania, let me shed some light on the political culture of the country.
From 1947 to 1989, Romania was under Soviet influence as a socialist state. Before that, it was a monarchy - under the King of Romania. The country has never experienced a true capitalist system.
Like in the U.S. during the Trump campaign, Romanian media is controlled by political parties distorting the truth to serve their interests.
Similar to the United States, Romanian mainstream media is entirely controlled by various political parties-there are many in Romania, and most of them have former communist leaders. This means they distort and present the truth in ways that serve their political agendas and the interests of those in power.
As for "free" elections, they have effectively never existed. Political parties nominate their own candidates, who are then heavily promoted by the media they control.
To ease corruption, the political class in Romania is disproportionately large: consider the comparison: Romania has a population of 19,054,550 (Q1 2024) and a bicameral Parliament consisting of 330 Deputies and 136 Senators. In contrast, the United States, with a population of 341,963,408, has 435 Representatives and 100 Senators.
Georgescu emerged as an anomaly in this corrupt political system. An independent candidate but well-known by many Romanians, he was intentionally excluded from all mainstream media presidential debates. Yet, he won by leveraging the increasingly relevant platform - the Internet, via social media, podcasts etc - much like former U.S. President Donald Trump did. People listened to him, did their own research, and voted overwhelmingly for him.
The corrupt political class is now in a panic, deploying the same tactics once used against Trump. Claims that Georgescu is "sold to the Russians" (false) or a "fascist sympathizer" (also false) have flooded the discourse.
Unfortunately, Romania’s political and judicial systems remain deeply influenced by Stalinist principles.
This is evidenced by practices like manipulating election outcomes in Josef Stalin's way: "it doesn’t matter how people vote as long as we count the votes", or operating Beria’s infamous order, "Show me the man, and I will show you the crime." You will see lots of arrests and show trials in the months to come.
The current political elite prioritizes war and globalization, but this vision is not shared by the Romanian people.
Unfortunately, Romania’s political and judicial systems still follow Stalinist principles, manipulating votes and using accusations to target opponents. While the political class pushes for war and globalization, Georgescu’s rise reflects the people’s growing rejection of these priorities and their demand for real change.
Dude, what are u talking about??😂😂
Calin Georgescu was doing scam sustainability pitches in the '90s for PDSR and PD and later for PSD.
The guy is a fraud and a pure blood communist and opportunist.
Do your own research if you are a real person.
Read about the Gerasimov Doctrine, follow the money and connect the dots.
this video is filled with misinformation
Combate verificabil
found the russian bot
WOW, a lot of strong statements were made here. Someone was a good student at the Atlantic Council journalist training! After all, people did vote for him, it is not like they changed the ballots in the bag, right!
he declared zero campaign funds, yet secret services uncovered tens of millions in a giant tiktok network + millions in paying off influencers to campaign for him.
those funds were external, he broke the law, he barely got 22% of the votes and would`ve been crushed in the 2nd round anyway.
beyond this, the next parliament is super-majority pro-western and the next government is 100% pro-western.
