‘Tyranny!’ ‘Dictatorship!’
Cǎlin Georgescu has just been banned from presidential elections in Romania and his response was to call out a ‘direct blow to the heart of democracy’. In reality, it is his extremist and pro-Russia friends that are sabotaging democratic principles.

The likes of JD Vance then happily jump on Russian and Georgescu narratives – potentially jeopardising serious projects like the largest NATO base in Europe.
