  • BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – DECEMBER 8: Presidential candidate Calin Georgescu talks to supporters and the media in front of a closed voting station where he was supposed to vote on December 8, 2024 in Mogosoaia, Romania. Today would have been the runoff vote in Romania’s presidential election, but the country’s Constitutional Court earlier this week annulled the first round of voting after intelligence showed far-right candidate Calin Georgescu benefitted from a mass influence operation mounted by Russia.
