Just two days before a runoff between ultranationalist Calin Georgescu and normie liberal Elena Lasconi, Romania’s constitutional court on Friday voided the results of the first round of the presidential election due to Russian interference efforts backing Georgescu, the BBC reports.

Outgoing Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said the court’s decision was “the only correct solution after the declassification of the documents… which show that the result of the Romanians’ vote was blatantly distorted as a result of Russia’s intervention”. Georgescu, a fucking freak who worships a fascist, antisemitic World War II-era militia (the ones that fought the Nazis. A different fascist, antisemitic militia collaborated with them during the occupation) and was so extreme he got kicked out of a different ultranationalist party, rose from obscurity to take a shock lead in the first round last month, winning 22.94 percent to Lasconi’s 19.18 percent. Georgescu had a serious shot at winning given that the other right winger, who came in fourth, had endorsed him, while Lasconi was expected to have serious trouble pulling support from the third place Ciolacu’s ceneter-left base.

It’s not clear when the next election will be held or if Georgescu will be somehow disqualified. The law allows for annulments such as this one, stipulating that a new first round would need to be held by the 22nd. The court however ordered an entire new presidential campaign, so who the hell knows how long that’s going to take. Vladimir Putin’s definitely fucking pissed, no doubt.
