Trump's son called the decision to overturn Romania's election results fraudulent

Billionaire George Soros or Marxists are making attempts to rig the results of the Romanian elections. Donald Trump Jr, son of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, said on December 7.

"Wow, look what's happening in Romania! The Constitutional Court has canceled the first round of the presidential election. Another attempt by Soros or Marxists to rig the results and disregard the will of the people," he wrote on social network X (formerly Twitter).

Trump's son also added that Elena Lasconi, the presidential candidate of the opposition Romania Salvation Union party, will lose.

Earlier, on December 6, 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 following the court session held on that day. In the near future, the government should approve new dates for the voting.

On the same day, the candidate for the Romanian presidency Calin Georgescu reported that the decision of the Constitutional Court of Romania to annul the results of the first round of elections is an undermining of democracy and "an official coup d'état".

The first round of the Romanian presidential election was held on November 24. According to official data, independent candidate Calin Georgescu was leading with 22.94% of the vote. 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.
