Schor called the end of democracy the annulment of Romania's election results

Democracy in Romania is dead after the annulment of the results of the first round of elections. Ilan Shor, chairman of the opposition Moldovan Victory bloc Ilan Shor said on Friday, December 6.

"The Constitutional Court of Romania annulled the results of the first round of the presidential election. You are against NATO, against military aid to Ukraine. You are for partnership with the Russian Federation, for the sovereignty of your country - that's it, you have no chance to be elected on the territory of the controlled country," he wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to Shor, recent events have led to the collapse of democracy, and statements about its alleged defense are complete hypocrisy.

Earlier in the day it was reported that the Constitutional Court (CC) of Romania annulled the results of the first round of the presidential election. It was specified that the final decision was made after the court session held on that day. In the near future, the government should approve new dates for the voting.

The first round of the presidential election in Romania was held on November 24. According to official data, independent candidate Calin Georgescu is leading with 22.94% of votes. The leader of the opposition party "Union for the Salvation of Romania" Elena Lasconi has 19.17% of the votes. The second round was to be held on December 8, as none of the candidates could get more than 50%.

On November 28, the Constitutional Court of Romania demanded from the Central Election Commission (CEC) to recalculate the results of the first round. On November 29, the head of the Romanian CEC Tony Grebla said that if the Constitutional Court annuls the results of the first round, it could be held again on December 15. In this case, the second round of elections will have to be held on December 29, which causes a lot of inconvenience, he said.

On December 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin ridiculed the recount of votes in the Romanian elections. According to him, the authorities decided to take such a step only because they did not like the candidate who won the first round.
