Wow that's a extreme measure, but crazy times require crazy solutions.
This is not going to rebuild trust in democratic institutions for those that voted for Georgescu. This is just kicking the can down the road.
True, but also allowing foreign interference in elections is also not confidence inspiring. Especially when it's unnoticed and surreptitiously done.
Now people will get a closer look at him, he might get votes again, he might not. Either way, Russia won.
Those people knew and voted for that guy regardless so this is not fixing anything and looks quite bad for the democratic process, especially to them. Do you believe mainstream parties don’t do the same internet influence campaigns? Suppose this Georgescu guy is guilty of various campaign financing issues but where’s the due process?
@misk you sumed up perfectly. The danger still exists and what the power does is just making use of some legal levers to kick the nazis out. If they ever get in power, this is not gonna end well for us.
However, the solution was still not to continue with the election. The solution was to take action at the right time, not wait untill they become a real threat.
Hope the authorities will do their job better moving forward.
I'm still wondering: How do they prevent russian meddeling in the next election?
