The leader of the AUR Ultra Party George Simion decided to challenge the results of the elections of the President of Romania, despite his own recognition of the defeat.
As Romanian edition writes Hotnews.roSimion said that the election results will be appealed in the Constitutional Court on the same grounds on which the results of the first round of the presidential election were canceled in December last year. He said:
“We are not defeated. We don’t give up. Nobody won us. The Romanian people woke up and will not sleep. Out of respect for 5 million Romanians who put their seal on us, I want to announce to you that we will not leave everything as they want. We will appeal the election of Nikushor in the Constitutional Court for the same reasons for which they canceled the December elections.”
Simion complained of electoral tourism in Moldova, the “administrative resource of another state,” said “interference not only from the Republic of Moldova, but also from the French state”:
“The testimony of the creator of Telegram, in which he says that the French government intervened in order to censor our votes are indicative. I demand the testimony of the founder of Telegram before the elections are recognized as valid.”
However, he nevertheless expressed doubt that his application to the Constitutional Court would be successful. And he announced that his party would not participate in the negotiations or inauguration of the new government.
Earlier, Simion admitted his defeat in the elections and congratulated his opponent, mayor of Bucharest, Dana, on the victory of his opponent. On Tuesday, he explained that he did this to avoid bloodshed:
“The fact that we avoided bloodshed on Sunday does not mean that we must be kept for fools. If our request is rejected, this will be another evidence that this vile system has made a revolution against the will of the Romanian people.”
Counting 100% of the ballots showed that Nikushor Dan won the presidential election In Romania with a result of 53.60% of the vote.
The former chairman of the Constitutional Court Augene Zegre, talks about an option in which, after George Simion’s appeal, the Constitutional Court may decide on the recount of all votes, as happened in November 2024, which at that time was an unprecedented decision.
