The candidate in the Calin Georgescu presidential election was detained on Wednesday by Romanian police and brought to the General Prosecutor's Office for questioning in connection with alleged election abuses. most likely the political establishment of this country intends to prevent the re-competitive participation of the winners of the annulled elections of the end of last year. The agreement can surely number on specified action – contrary to the will of a large part of voters – to support the European Union's authorities.

Agerpres' agency reported that "radically right-wing" Calin Georgescu's politician was detained on Wednesday and brought to the prosecutor's office for questioning in connection with a case concerning irregularities in the election campaign.

In the course of the proceedings, there have been 47 searches of the dwellings of persons and the office of Georgesc associations on the issue of the financing of the electoral campaign, “the creation of a fascist, racist or xenophobic organization” and “promoting the worship of those guilty of committing genocide crimes”.

"Georgescu is not presently considered a suspect," she noted in a dispatch on the Reuters case.

Among the persons investigated is Georgescu's bodyguard, Horatiu Potra, a professional mercenary who was to operate in Africa in the past.

"The Communist-Bolshevik Agreement continues its hateful abuse! (...) He seeks to fabricate evidence to justify falsifying elections and do everything to block my fresh presidential candidacy”, commented Georgesc's services on Wednesday on his Facebook account.

On the another hand, a communication squad of politicians reported on social media that the authorities called Georgescu for questioning on the day he intended to submit his candidacy in the re-elections scheduled for May.

The Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the elections of 24 November last year 2 days before their second round, originally scheduled for 8 December. Georgescu, who initially had low support in the polls and declared zero run spending, unexpectedly won the first round. Then there were allegations of violations of electoral law by his staff, opaque run backing and possible Russian interference in the electoral process.

The right-wing politician, who, among others, was to praise Romania's leaders from the 1930s and express his appreciation for Russia's president Vladimir Putin's politics, is inactive the favourite of public opinion polls. Georgescu proclaims views referred to by mainstream media as anti-Western and isolationist. He does not hide his sympathy for U.S. president Donald Trump. Among another things, he is accused of calling Ukraine a "invented state" and besides undermining the territorial integrity of the country, saying that part of its territory should be divided between Romania, Hungary and Poland.

During the Munich safety Conference on 16 February in his speech, U.S. Vice president J. D. Vance said that the cancellation of elections meant that Romania, and more broadly the European Union, do not share with America the values that were the foundation of the North Atlantic Alliance.

Recently, influential EU officials have admitted that they were active in Romanian elections. Among another things, in the context of waiting for a vote in Germany, where the unrest of Brussels' elites aroused the advanced popularity of the alternate for Germany (AfD), erstwhile Commissioner Thierry Breton said:

– Let us stay calm and enforce our regulations in Europe erstwhile there is simply a hazard of circumvention and erstwhile they can, if they are not enforced, lead to interference. We did it in Romania and, of course, we will gotta do it, if necessary, in Germany.

Former Euro-Parliamentarian Jacek Saryusz-Wolski commented on the sincerity of the Eurocrat: “Thierry Breton [former French EU Commissioner] explains that they have stolen elections in Romania and will do the same to Germany if they consider it necessary. He did any kind of lapsus like we're not going to tolerate interference. Interference = free elections (not exact words, but meaning is faithful)" wrote the Polish politician.

"It seems, however, that Bucharest is preparing the ground for blocking Georgesc's participation in the election, despite clear signals from the Trump administration and the U.S. President's earrings (especially from JD Vance) to not do so," he wrote on Wednesday on the X Kamil Calus portal, an analyst of the Center for east Studies for Romania and Moldova.

The second circular of re-elections will be held on 4 May, and II 2 weeks later.
