Russia has a long and glorious history of fake protests, and Romania is a target for its hybrid war. It's like China & Taiwan. Be careful, as not everything is what it seems.

They can be. They can also be as we saw in Moldova, paid for by the Russians, where they pay each individual through some local agents. Russia has been doing this since 1917, trying to subvert its old colonies/empire.
Not in the same way, not systemically state-backed as Russia's hybrid interference in Western elections. We hardly have a gov response to these hybrid attacks on our democracies.
First the pro-Rus candidate was close to winning, due to Tiktok campaign, likely originating from Russia eg not the ppl of Romania.
So it depends on what the Romanian law says, & its system, if it has a constitutional court that can act.

And why are the protests fake? Are they not Romanians?
I would not be surprised if Georgescu is included in the do over election in May that he might win.
