Romanians protest in The Hague as far-right candidate gets closer to winning election
NL TimesAround 150 Romanian people who live in the Netherlands protested in The Hague on Monday evening to raise concerns about the future of their country and the widespread misinformation and disinformation in the presidential election currently happening. The first round of the Romanian presidential election was surprisingly won by the far-right independent candidate Calin Georgescu. The second round of the election will happen on Sunday between the biggest winners of the first round - Georgescu and the center-right candidate Elena Lasconi. “It is scary.” “All of us want to go back to Romania, at least eventually,” Julie Chirtes, another organizer of the protest, told the media. “But we want to go back to a country that is in Europe, that is democratic, and that we can live in freely regardless of who we are.” “We are at risk of getting a new leader that is an extremely far-right fascist, taking us all the way back to before ‘89, and we’re here to fight for democracy and to encourage people to give an informed vote,” Chirtes said.
