Apernicious political crisis was ignited in Romania by the Biden administration in early December when Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted “large-scale and well-funded” Russian interference was to blame for the unexpected victory of a distinctly Trump-like presidential candidate, Călin Georgescu, in the first round of Romania’s presidential election.
It was an unprecedented and patently undemocratic move, affirmed by an unpopular incumbent, President Klaus Iohannis, who supported the decision with “declassified” documents alleging manipulation by a “state actor” via TikTok. (Iohannis has held office since 2014. The Romanian constitution says his mandate can only be extended beyond two five-year terms, by law, in cases of war or disaster.)
As no evidence of Russian meddling emerged, Iohannis warned reporters in Brussels, that it’s, ummm, elusive: “Don’t imagine these attacks are signed ‘With love, from the East.’ No, they are very hard to document.”
