Romanian prosecutors start criminal studies in the front manager of the presidential election

ATHENS

The right -wing extremist populist Calin Georgescu, the winner of the first round of the presidential elections in Romania last year, was interviewed by prosecutors on Wednesday for alleged measures against constitutional order, local media reported.

Georgescu, who was seen as a favorite for elections in April, was stopped by the police in traffic and brought to the general prosecutor's office, said broadcaster Antena 3.

He is accused of abuse, participation in a fascist organization and the public funding of war criminals and extremist ideologies to promote the decision that the decision was made to extremist activities at national level after two criminal matters.

A key element of the investigation is a speech by Georgescu at Bucharest University Square, where from 1940 to 1944 he conducted Marshal Ion Antonescu, the Romanian leader, and a convicted war criminal and a forbidden legionary greeting.

The Georgescu communication office confirmed the development.

“Calin Georgescu wanted to submit his new candidacy for the presidency. About 30 minutes ago, the system stopped him in the traffic and accepted it to the general prosecutor's office for survey! Where is democracy and where should the partners defend them? “, She said on Facebook.

After the first round of the election on November 24th, Georgescu was the leader. But Romania's highest court accepted the ballot paper before the second round in December, citing the allegations of Russian interference.

At the beginning of this month, during the Munich Security Conference, the US Vice President JD Vance expressly excluded the results of the results of the presidential elections in Romania and argued that this undermined the basics of democracy.
