TL;DR Summary

Romania's top court has annulled the results of the first round of the presidential election, citing the need for a complete rerun of the election process. This decision follows concerns over the unexpected victory of Calin Georgescu, a far-right, pro-Russian candidate, amid allegations of "aggressive hybrid Russian attacks" during the election period. The annulment does not affect the parliamentary elections, where the ruling Social Democrats remain the largest party, aiming to form a pro-EU coalition.
