Tbilisi, Feb 28, 2025

The death of Romania's Nicolae Ceaușescu and the fall of the Berlin wall happened in the last two months of 1989.

They were the defining moments of the collapse of communist Eastern Europe — two years before Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as Soviet president and the USSR ceased to exist.

The European Union is now denying democracy to Romania, which tells you far more about the Union, closeted in Brussels with NATO.

Romanian prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the front runner in the country's postponed elections, Călin Georgescu.

Police arrested him on Wednesday as he was about to submit his candidacy in May's rerun of the election. The first was annulled in December by the constitutional court with Georgescu in the lead.

Allegations of Russian interference via TikTok were never proven.

Police are now formally investigating him on suspicion of communicating false information.

He accused them of seeking to “invent evidence to justify stealing the election and to do anything in their efforts to block a new candidacy from me”.

The Guardian reports:

“Prosecutors said earlier that they had raided 47 addresses of Georgescu’s associates as part of an investigation into alleged offences including “establishing an organisation with a fascist, racist or xenophobic character” and “false statements” regarding campaign financing.”

Legacy media are saying Georgescu was NOT arrested, even though he was hauled out of the traffic and held for several hours, while he was questioned. Prosecutors then launched an investigation.

Politico, the government-funded bureaucrats' journal was also keen to avoid the word arrest: "Romanian police haul in election front-runner Călin Georgescu for questioning."

Whether he cooperated voluntarily rather than force an arrest, the fact is he was arrested (see video).

Tally ho

They tried to jail president Donald Trump before the election; in France they're trying to jail Marine Le Pen. Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro is banned from running in the next election. Now they've arrested Romania's leading candidate.

The influencer Andrew Tate was allowed to leave Romania shortly afterwards — a fine example of distraction, as it knocked Georgescu off the headlines about Romania.

The real issue is NATO is seeking to expand its base on Romania's Black Sea coast at Constanta.

The European Commission, NATO and globalists (several judges on Romania's Constitutional Court have ties to George Soros' Open Society Foundation) want to continue the war against Russia.

Hence Georgescu has been charged with incitement to actions against the constitutional order:

• Communication of false information

• Establishing an organisation with a fascist, racist or xenophobic character

• Promoting the cult of individuals guilty of committing crimes of genocide against humanity and war crimes

• Publicising fascist, legionary, racist or xenophobic ideas

• Establishing an organisation with an anti-Semitic character

You will note that these are subjective claims, closer to the “grey” laws of the USSR that were so vague that anyone could be deemed to have contravened them. Of course, they were only enforced against politicial rivals.

Today it seems that opposing the escalation of war with Russia constitutes the above.

Runaround Sue

The next presidential election is due to be held in Romania on 4 and 18 May 2025.

Georgescu was indicted on six counts and put under judicial control for 60 days, which allows him to walk free but not to leave the country, according to Romanian media reports. Some reports say is is barred from giving interviews.

Hundreds of supporters rallied (see video) for Georgescu as he was released by prosecutors.
