The Banning of Călin Georgescu and Globalist Elite Control in Romania, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)

Romania's central electoral bureau's decision to disqualify nationalist candidate Călin Georgescu from the May 2025 presidential election re-run isn't just a local scandal—it's a glaring example of how globalist elites manipulate democratic processes to crush dissent. Georgescu, a populist who surged to prominence in the annulled 2024 election, has been smeared as "far-right" and "pro-Russian," labels which are cynical and manipulative, emptied of meaning to serve the establishment's ends. This isn't about protecting democracy; it's about preserving power for a select few who fear his anti-EU, anti-NATO stance. The sequence of events—election annulment, vague accusations, and now exclusion—lays bare a playbook where elites weaponise institutions to silence threats, a pattern echoing across the West.

Start with the original election. In November 2024, Georgescu, an independent with a doctorate in soil science and a history of UN work, shocked Romania's political class by winning 23 percent of the vote in the first round, beating Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. His TikTok-fuelled rise—3.7 million likes, 274,000 followers—tapped into anger over EU overreach and economic woes. But two days before the December 8 runoff, Romania's Constitutional Court annulled the entire election, citing "aggressive hybrid Russian attacks" favouring Georgescu. Declassified intelligence pointed to a coordinated online campaign, but concrete evidence—like who funded it or how it swayed votes—remains thin. Moscow denied meddling, and Georgescu called it a "formalised coup d'état." The court's move erased 9.4 million votes, a gut punch to democratic will.

Fast forward to March 9, 2025: the electoral bureau, packed with Supreme Court judges and party reps, voted 10-4 to bar Georgescu from the re-run. The reasoning? He allegedly violated election rules in 2024—undeclared funds over €1 million and digital fraud, per security services (Wikipedia, March 10, 2025). Yet, Becker argues this is murky at best—no irregularities surfaced in a prior recount, and Georgescu's under-criminal-investigation status (six counts, including fascist ties) smells like a convenient pretext. The Guardian (March 9, 2025) notes his ban can be appealed, but analysts like Sergiu Miscoiu doubt the Constitutional Court will reverse it, given its precedent of blocking anti-EU candidates. Dozens of supporters stormed the bureau, shouting "Freedom," only to be rebuffed.

Here's where the globalist elite angle sharpens. Becker ties this to NATO's $2.7 billion base expansion at Mihail Kogălniceanu, a 3,000-hectare behemoth for 10,000 troops, cementing Romania as a Black Sea bulwark against Russia. Georgescu's vow to halt NATO's growth made him a threat—coincidence that his ban aligns with this project's kickoff? The EU and NATO, pillars of the globalist order, can't tolerate a leader who'd pivot Romania toward neutrality or "Russian wisdom" (Georgescu's words, Euronews, November 24, 2024). Becker's right to question: where's the outrage over "Pro-China" ties, given Beijing's Covid-era clout? The "Pro-Russia" tag is a selective cudgel, wielded when populists like Georgescu challenge the script.

This mirrors a Western trend. Trump's lawfare battles, Brexit's vilification, Hungary and Poland's EU clashes—all show elites smearing and suppressing anti-globalist voices. In Romania, the establishment—Social Democrats, Liberals, and their judicial allies—fears Georgescu's lead in polls. His ban leaves ultranationalist parties, holding 35% of parliament, potentially candidate-less, a surgical strike to kneecap dissent. The deep government controls Europe… You cannot be a candidate if you're too popular with the people but unpopular with the globalists.Elon Musk called it "crazy," and Trump's team decried it as speech suppression (CNN, March 9, 2025).

Critically, the establishment's narrative—Russia rigged it, Georgescu's a fascist—crumbles under scrutiny. Evidence of interference is sketchy, and his "fascist" label stems from praising 1930s figures like Codreanu, a stance illegal but rarely prosecuted in Romania. The real interference might be domestic: a judiciary and electoral body bending to EU-NATO pressure. Becker's Potemkin village analogy fits—democracy's a façade when elites can erase elections and ban winners. Georgescu's not perfect, but his exclusion screams control, not fairness. Romania's just the latest stage for a globalist elite desperate to keep the wheel spinning their way.
