New Protests In Bucharest Over Final Court Decision Barring Presidential Candidate

Hundreds of supporters of Romanian politician Calin Georgescu protested for a third consecutive day after the Constitutional Court upheld a decision barring him from running for president. Georgescu, known for his nationalist and pro-Russian views, unexpectedly won the first round of the election in November, but that vote was annulled amid claims of foreign interference. The latest court decision blocks him from running again in a new election scheduled for May.
