Tens of thousands protest in Bucharest over annulled presidential election
Protesters walk during a rally organized by the right wing Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR), calling for free elections after Romania' s Constitutional Court annulled the first round of presidential elections last December, in Bucharest, Romania, January 12, 2025
TENS of thousands took to the streets of Romania’s capital, Bucharest, on Sunday against a top court’s decision last month to annul the presidential election.
The protest comes a month after the Constitutional Court made the unprecedented move to annul the election just two days before a December 8 run-off.
The far-right candidate Calin Georgescu shocked many when he won the first round on November 24, after which allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference emerged.
