Romania was plunged into a political crisis after the elections held earlier this month. The first round of the elections was annulled, among other things, due to suspicions of Russian influence. Doubts about the legitimacy of the elections arose when an almost unknown far-right and non-party candidate Călin Georgescu was successful in the vote.
