George Simion did not expect a verdict today from CCR in his favor. He did not imagine that the CCR could cancel the elections, but relied on the fact that the reasons invoked will be rolled and reach its radicalized electorate.

Gold leader George Simion said that, in essence, the reason why Nicuşor Dan was congratulated after winning the elections was that he did not want to see “blood spill”. The request for cancellation of the elections submitted to the CCR is a threat to the stability, because among the reasons listed by the gold leader are the “misinformation of the electorate”, his “denigration”, “foreign interventions in carrying out the electoral process”.
It is not just a coincidence that all his arguments are used by Moscow's people, there seems to be a coordination between George Simion and Russians: the spokesman for Russian diplomacy, Maria Zaharova, accused France in the interference of a sovereign state “and the manipulation of elections in Romania; The Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that the presidential elections in Romania were “at least strange”, spoke about the injustice of removing Călin Georgescu from the race and explained that it is not a news that European states such as France, the United Kingdom and Germany intervene in the business of other countries.
Alexandr Dughin, the philosopher who put in the service of Vladimir Putin, also says that “Macron intervened openly in the Romanian elections”, that “the EU is a pure liberal dictatorship” and that “without a total revolution, Europeans have no chance to regain the real representation of the people”. The founder of the Telegram messenger application, Pavel Durov, claims that the French secret services would have put pressure on him to suppress the voices that supported George Simion and that he is ready to come to Romania to testify in favor of the gold leader.
Starting on Tuesday evening, after Simion spoke about the need to cancel the elections and about the “blood spill” that could have taken place, on the social networks Facebook, Telegram, X and Tiktok appeared thousands of fake information, about France that would have arranged the elections in Romania, about alleged voting, about the emergency of the election. According to G4media, the campaign runs on all the great social networks, but none wants to remove the illegal content, except Tiktok, the social network under an investigation by the European Commission.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs recognizes that in the online space there have been “messages and materials of manipulative character”, which can “mislead” people with details related to the electoral process, but did not indicate their source, or if it has started any investigation to discover who incites the rebellion.
However, interim president Ilie Bolojan believes that things are clear, that “the difference in votes was large enough to not be challenged” and he does not see “what complications we could have in the next period.” In other words, there would be no danger to destabilize the country. Ilie Bolojan avoided answering the question of whether the meetings of George Simion abroad put in danger of national security, but Gigi Becali, the owner of the FCSB football club that entered the Parliament on the golden lists, confessed that he knows about Simion's roads in Vienna to receive “new order” and will be 75 years old. now. ”
The golden leader is in a forced offensive, after losing the presidentials, after having revealed that he had financed Realitatea TV for 3 million euros, according to investigations published by Snoop.ro, and after finding out that on May 18, on the day of the second round of the presidentials, I was sent to SMS in which there was a “Nic”.
Then, the radical parties in the Parliament begin to deflate, already 6 parliamentarians from Pot have left their formation, and in the political-legal environments there are talk about future evaders from gold and PSD to a new parliamentary group that Victor Ponta would patronize. Claudiu Late, the gold ideologist who left a month ago from the party, announced that he will soon launch the “conservative action”, which “will be different from populism and extremism” and which is based on God, family and freedom.
This type of conservatism also seems inspired by Moscow, because Russia is very concerned about Romania and tries to bring it into its sphere of influence, without understanding that it is impossible as long as the majority of the population is pro-Western. However, the country was about to fall into the trap when the Russian candidate, Călin Georgescu, was ready to become president, using the social networks algorithms. The Kremlin did not take this strategy, so he tried with George Simion.
After two failures, the Russians are nervous, so now they are trying to destabilize the country through waves of forgeries launched on the Internet stating that France would have placed Nicușor Dan. Does he even imagine that the Romanians will be outraged by this lie, will go out and do disorder? EVERYTHING just because the new president has a doctorate at Sorbona? Russia loses electoral field in Romania, but it always finds ways to stay in play through political and institutional pawns.
