    My fellow Serbians/Hungarians, any tips for the following 5 years? (it’s only the first round but this is scary and fishy af)

    Wasn’t there like another thread like some hours ago claiming he was pissing himself because he was going to get 3rd place or am I confused?

    At least its hard to kick a country out of EU. Thats how little hope I have left.

  4. It’s insane how easy it is to ruin free democratic systems by just pumping money into schizo fascist misinfo ADHD doomscroll TikTok/Instagram/Youtube shorts.

    Someone needs to start flooding Russian and Chinese social media with the same shit.

    I’m still wondering where tf this guy came from. Like I literally just saw his name on the list of candidates a few weeks ago. My dad even thought he was Geoana when his face appeared on screen.

  6. While he got way more votes than people taught before, this is not even close to the end, there are about half more votes that need to be counted mainly from big cities that are less pro Georgescu or Simion.

    I am Romanian and I have no idea who this Georgescu guy even is. He doesn’t have a party backing him, was in no debates or interviews, had no internet presence until ~2 months ago, was very low in the polls until 2 weeks ago. This makes no sense whatsoever, all former extremist candidates started from the bottom, you at least knew who they were and he didn’t even win in the poor counties, he won all over the place.

    He is allegedly, all over tiktok, but a viral meme on tiktok is not enough to get the most votes. This is like if Deez Nuts or Harambe was leading the US election

    It’s a masive fraud, hope they catch up on how it was done. Most people didn’t even know how he looks like until yesterday. And now they say it’s all because of tiktok, like all the country is hooked on tiktok. From a nobody, no party, no campaingn, no tv appearance, he gets 22%? WTF.

    Romanian here,

    The entire country is in shock. This guy, Calin Georgescu, is a nobody who’s only known for his nazi like rhetoric and pro Russia views. He had nearly no campaign, he had no signs around the country, no rallies, he didn’t go to any debates, he’s simply not known. Now he’s the most popular candidate.

    Most people I know believe there was some Russian interference because it’s logically impossible for him to get so many votes. It’s a running joke now that people are Google-ing his name to see who he is.

    Edit: experts and the people say Calin’s main presence was on TikTok where multiple bots were pushing his propaganda. But even so, most Romanians are not on TikTok, so it’s a delicate situation.

  10. Guys, we don’t know what the hell happened, we were worried that Simion, an extremist, was going into the second round, but this guy, Georgescu, makes Simion look like a liberal, he came out of nowhere, he had 6% in the polls.

    I don’t use tik tok and never heard of him, but at this point I’m hoping the corrupt prime minister wins, though I’m not at all sure that will happen.

    Banning tiktok might be a necesity if we dont want more idiots like this guy in power

    Russia is conquering the world by placing pro Russian leaders in countries it seems

  13. I’m M (31), this if my first year where I didn’t had a first go to option and I’ve spent days reading, watching interviews and debates about the candidates. I’ve followed every survey and I have a graph merged with the evolution of more then 15 surveys in 2 months. Nothing, but absolutely nothing prepared me about this guy Georgescu. More then 90% of the country doesn’t know a shi*t about this dude. My circle of friends, nobody knows anything about him.

    It’s funny how the regimes keep fucking us over via the Internet. What the fuck is that?

  15. Thin_Relationship_61 on

    We don’t understand what is happening here…Nobody was able to foresee such a result. We are beyond disappointed…

    Romanian here. We are shocked about what we’re seeing right now.
    If this elections are legit than I sincerely apologize for the low lever of education and culture in our country. I’m crying inside.

  17. PisicaIntergalactica on

    I am speechless. Like, I was sure the favourites were Lasconi and Ciucă. Worst case scenario Ciolacu. But this guy? Never crossed my mind. I don’t know anyone endorsing or even taking him in consideration. Something is fishy here.

  18. Gottabecreative on

    The mood right now on r/Romania is:

    *shock*

    “Who TF is this guy?”

    “This is suspicious AF”

    *disconcerted*

    As a Romanian,

    I never heard about this guy Calin Georgescu until recently and I am very shocked the amound of votes he got.

    No survey showed him to be relevant at all, it took all of us as surprise.

    We expected to fight between Marcel Ciolacu and George-Nicolae Simion or Elena-Valerica Lasconi.

    But this is FAR WORSE and I fear for the future of my country at this point. We’re heading straight into dark ages with someone who’s into conspiracies, ezoterism, pseudoscience and natural treatments but not medicine.

    As I understand this guy got popularity due to this brainrot tiktok as he was not promoved elsewhere and strangely this helped him. I don’t have tiktok and that’s why I never heard of him.

    We’re doomed.

  20. It’s really fascinating that these so-called nationalistic “patriots” are just traitors who sell their country to ruzzia, same here in Germany with AfD.
