Romanian Establishment Cries About "Russia!" After Populist Candidate Scores A Win
When the will of the public starts to work against the designs of the 'progressive' and more often-undemocratic establishment, they lie and they cheat, and they believe they are justified in this behavior because to cheat is a "lesser evil" compared to the rise of right wing movements. Conservatives, in their minds, are the ultimate evil.
This is how we get fabricated scandals like Russiagate and the Steele Dossier; an accusation driven circus designed to prove Russian interference led to the surprise win by Donald Trump in the 2016 elections.
It's perhaps not surprising that the same cabal would use similar tactics in other key elections around the world as a means to thwart any voting majority that goes against them. This seems to be the case in Romania where Calin Georgescu recently scored a surprise win in the first round of the presidential elections.
The 62-year-old, referred to as an 'obscure far-right populist' by the establishment media, shook the country’s political landscape by clinching the most votes and advancing to the second round to face off against reformist Elena Lasconi of the progressive Save Romania Union party. He also beat the incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the Social Democratic Party, leaving the ruling party for the first time in Romania’s 35-year post-communist history without a candidate in the runoff, set for Dec. 8.
However, according to a report by Expert Forum, a Bucharest-based think tank, Georgescu’s TikTok account before last week’s vote saw an explosion of engagement, which it said appeared “sudden and artificial, similar to his polling results”. Expert Forum is a leftist organization which works in collaboration with the European Commission, Council of Europe, World Bank and United Nations Development Programme, along with a multitude of US State Department & Soros-backed NGOs.
Georgescu is a NATO critic and has defended Vladimir Putin as "a man that loves his country", though he holds that he is not pro-Russia. A primary message of his campaign has been a push for peace in Ukraine and keeping Romania out of the war.
His positions include supporting Romanian farmers, reducing import dependence, and ramping up local energy and food production. He also wants to establish a sovereign distribution model based on participatory democracy in which “Truth, Freedom and Sovereignty are the axes of values” in Romania’s development. All a very good thing for a civilized country and it's own people. Rich faux-'progressive' oligarchs, like George Soros no doubt, would obviously take hostility over the interests of average innocent working-class people, despotic as often they deny they are.
