Călin Georgescu barely registered in national opinion polls, didn’t take part in big TV debates, and doesn’t even belong to a political party.

But he’s leading the race to become Romania’s next president.

Everybody just voting against their own self interest to "screw the system" (i.e. themselves).

olezhastanislavich.bsky.social•180 days ago

It is obvious the electoral fraud! And putin's Russia is playing an active role in that!

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

I don’t think is fraud, is a movement that I see everywhere this days from US with the win of Trump to Poland and Slovakia and to Romania. Is more a braking down the status quo. And maybe is what we need to sink really really low to get it relay hard and reconstruct. 🤷‍♀️

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

The fact that all those people are voting against their best interests is staggering

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

That being said is obvious that those people got lots of help to promote themselves on social media. Help from Russian and Chinese boots that are helping for the western civilization colaps.

olezhastanislavich.bsky.social•180 days ago

But, you could sink so low that there is no way back! That risk should be taken into account!

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

Exactly, how long it will take to recover from this? A generation? 2? You don’t recover in 2-3 years.

boogiesurf.bsky.social•180 days ago

Same as Mike Johnson and Vance; Russian cutouts

xgabrriell.bsky.social•180 days ago

He's a puppet of putin's group from Romanian secret services. In the following days his emptiness will be in full display.
I feel ashamed, as a Romanian, as so many have actually voted for this mask.

Someday I suspect it will be realized there was some global machination to get all these far right extremists in power. The coincidence is too fishy.

jacqueline99.bsky.social•180 days ago

This.

rance567.bsky.social•180 days ago

Not like they were subtle about it. See Patrushev openly telling Trump he owes them and has promises to keep.

The whole world it seems. Is it some vestige of Long Covid that is affecting brain cells.

I’m from Romania, I didnt’t know this guys exists until today. I don’t use Shit Tok. Everyone here is stunned by the results. Most likely he won’t win the 2nd round of elections.

deeteezro.bsky.social•180 days ago

The fact that so many Romanians from the diaspora, including the UK, voted for him is mind boggling! Sadly, I think he has a better chance than Lasconi 😔

cdavidalex.bsky.social•180 days ago

We have alot of indifferent people but now that things got so serious, I hope they will go out and cast their vote, because orherwise it’s really bad for us. We already made fools out of ourselves for not seeing the snake in the grass. Hopefully we can get back to not knowing he exists in two weeks.

cdavidalex.bsky.social•180 days ago

It is very sad that so many people from the diaspora voted for him, but I really don’t see him winning. PNL already staded that they back Lasconi without any doubt, others will follow. Proests against him already started. The problem was that many young people didn’t go out to vote but will this tim

A frustrated failed engineer (just like Merkel) who worked 20 years as political rat until he found the TikTok shithole on which he could pervert young and/or stupid minds, with a little help from outside.
He plays at the both ends of a very thin rope ...

rance567.bsky.social•180 days ago

Another candidate with mysterious rubles and bot emgagement🤡

zecryptic.bsky.social•180 days ago

Going from bad to worse. People never learn...

Until it's too late for them and everybody else.

"In a 2024 podcast he said Covid doesn’t exist, that no one has ever seen the virus, and that “the only real science is Jesus Christ.”"

Are you okay Romania?!

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

Is not just Romanian, nonsens like this is everywhere from US to UK ( see the brexit, simms the lessons wasn’t learned yet) to most European countries.

enormo.bsky.social•180 days ago

Fair. But "the only real science is Jesus Christ" is something I don't hear from far-right politicians in the EU (yet). The populist approach usually is to appeal to a broad mass using fears and emotions while staying vague. It's alarming that fundamentalistic rejection of science gets a majority.

zandreea.bsky.social•180 days ago

I heat that a lot in US

enormo.bsky.social•180 days ago

True. Propagation of christian fundamentalism in the US went completely haywire. But in the EU it's usually not a topic that wins you elections. Or at least that's what I thought.

geoninja.bsky.social•180 days ago

The far right again raises their head

charitymorganlv.bsky.social•180 days ago

Tik Tok star.
