In Romania, a presidential candidate frontrunner, Calin Georgescu, will not be allowed to run again in the vote set for May. Georgescu was banned after the intelligence agency revealed that he was allegedly backed by Russia through 800 TikTok accounts, leading to the annulment of the first round of elections by the Constitutional Court in December. He is backed by conservative and far-right groups in Romania, which went out to support him. Georgescu has been critical of NATO and the EU for what he claims is a lack of freedom and free speech.
