Pickle, the cancelled/annulled the election claiming russian interference/finance and undue influence via tiktok etc. It turns out an investigation carried out after this decision, by the Romanian tax authority found that the PNL party paid something like 1m USD to Kensington Consulting to carry out a social media campaign on behalf of Georgescu to peel voters away from PNL's opposition.
It will go to court shortly, but this is nothing like democracy, its using lawfare to change the results of elections that the system does not like.

More interesting is the diplomatic row between Budapest and Warsaw/Brussels following the granting of political asylum to a PiS MP charged with the embezzlement of vast amounts of public money. Like all Putin stooges, Orban is clearly incapable of distinguishing his political interest and that of the public and state. His mates in PiS are no different however much they froth and posture - they are all Kremlin operatives.
The evidence is so overwhelming they have failed to produce a single piece of it. The wrong candidate won so they had to cancel the election result to save their shared democratic values and rule of law.
They tried the same schtick in Georgia too.

Problem is, however much you bluster, you and your handler “Sir Nige” are on the side that tried to make that 11 votes into a majority.
You are going to have to take responsibility for a lot more of this in the coming years. And you won’t enjoy it.
