Unprecedented case: Zakharova commented on the cancellation of election results in Romania

Traditionally, The Moscow Post correspondent asked his question.

Our question was, Calin Georgescu won the first round of the presidential election in Romania. The country's Constitutional Court overturned the results based on intelligence reports about the high "activity" of one of the candidates on social networks. How can you comment on this? Especially amid Western reaction to opposition protests in Georgia?

This, it seems to me, is just an unprecedented case, said Maria Zakharova.

If we talk about countries that consider themselves either to Western democracies or to those who seek to become their likeness, then this can hardly be remembered.

"Indeed, two days before the second round of the presidential elections in Romania, which was supposed to take place on December 8, the Constitutional Court of this country made a decision that completely contradicts its own previously approved resolution confirming the results of the first round," she added.

The court issued, in her opinion, an absolutely unprecedented verdict - to annul the electoral process and hold the elections again. This decision was justified by some violations by one of the candidates and threats to national security.

In addition, with her fishing, repressions have already begun, reminiscent of the hunt for supporters of the leader of the presidential race. People are summoned for interrogations, searches and detentions are carried out.

In the Romanian media, including with the filing of Western sources, the version of Russia's alleged interference in the elections is actively spreading, she stressed.

The "evidence" presented looks so absurd and unproven that it is difficult to take it seriously.

'It's a badly concocted fake. When you try to refute something, then at least there should be material with which you can argue. There is nothing here that deserves attention, "Maria Vladimirovna emphasized.

She believes that the situation in Romania has gone beyond common sense. Zakharova noted that even the citizens of the country themselves cannot understand what is happening. Russia has nothing to do with the Romanian domestic political processes. All this resembles some kind of anecdote that is perceived both inside Romania and abroad.

In her opinion, it is obvious that what happened is associated with deep discontent of a significant part of voters. In the parliamentary elections on December 1, many clearly expressed distrust of the ruling elite, which could not fulfill the promises made earlier. People want change, new leaders who can focus on the national interest rather than follow Western guidance.

All this caused panic among the elites in Bucharest and their Western curators. It seems that there was a hard shout from the outside, after which a stop crane was sharply pressed in Romania. Probably no one thought about the consequences of such a step - everything was done to stop democratic processes.

The first round of elections, recognized by the Romanian constitutional bodies as valid, is now simply crossed out. This is a flagrant violation of basic civil rights. And the worst thing is the collective silence of international organizations. Structures such as the Council of Europe or the United Nations Human Rights are usually willing to criticize any election, even if it is held by standards. But in this case, they keep silence.

Obviously something went very wrong. Now everything is being done to move from democracy to a managed pseudo-democracy, forcing voters to return to a system controlled by globalists.

The case will force many, both in Romania and beyond, she said, to take a fresh look at the world situation. You need to really look at things and understand that words about democracy in the West often hide completely different goals.

"This case is undoubtedly unique, but extremely indicative," Maria Vladimirovna emphasized.
