‼️In what might be catastrophic news for Romania, for Ukraine and Europe in general, in the first round of the Romanian Presidential Election, an almost completely unknown individual somehow managed to win some 16-18% of the votes (for now, still counting and still growing every minute) and might actually end up qualifying for round 2. This man does not belong to any party (thus no party machinery to back him), no vast fortune to fund his campaign that we know of and has a face and name not even 1 in 50 Romanians would have recognized 1 month ago while his score tonight was not predicted by any pollster, even remotely. As I'm writing this, probably every third Romanian just discovered, upon googling the guy, that he is openly pro-Russian, openly and unapologetically pro-Iron Guard (Romanian WW2 fascist movement), violently anti-NATO, anti-EU and an all round terrifying monster of a man (all views which he kept hidden during his "campaign"). I am absolutely convinced, as is everyone else here tonight, that this man is a Russian asset and his meteoric rise from 0% to God knows how much, could not be explained in any other way but by a massive and unprecedented Russian interference.
