Romania's Elections in Turmoil Amid Russian Interference Allegations

TL;DR Summary
Romania's constitutional court has annulled the recent presidential election, ordering a rerun due to allegations of Russian interference. This decision follows the declassification of intelligence documents suggesting a state-sponsored online influence campaign and cyber-attacks linked to Russia, aimed at supporting fringe politician Calin Georgescu. While Georgescu denies Russian involvement, his policies align with Moscow's interests, raising concerns among Romanians about potential shifts away from European alliances. The situation remains tense, with the election rerun expected in the spring.
