Romania's top court annuls first round of presidential vote won by far-right candidate

The Constitutional Court's unprecedented decision—which is final—came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia organized thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.

The court, without naming Georgescu, said that one of the 13 candidates in the Nov. 24 first round had improperly received "preferential treatment" on social media, distorting the outcome of the vote.
