He's definitely not part of any fascist organizations, the oligarch throwing Nazi salutes can vouch for him.

An EU country doing something about the far right?! Who would have thought?-
lol they straight up funded his social media campaign

Good they should ban the far right
-
Democracy is when people elect someone and a court (totally not controlled by the imperialism) decides they voted wrong and ban the candidate from running again
-
That's not what happened though. If you want to be protected by electoral rules, you have to abide by them. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

What happened then?

Will be interesting how this develops. After all he was voted for by a lot of people. Nevertheless a democracy has to defend itself. And i think it is clear that a lot of misinformation etc. Was spread. So lets see what this leads to...

I feel like there is more going on than a coordinated TikTok campaign, but they don't want to say anything less they tip off the Russian actors that they know what they are doing.
Still, imagine if SCOTUS banned the Democratic nominee from running for president because some foreigners were posting TikTok about then.

The tiktok campaign was funded by the ruling political party to divide the vote of opposition parties since Calin was seen as a fringe guy with no chance to win. There was no russian intervention.

Ikr? Even convicted felons can run for president in the US, Russian plants are also welcome.
