Tens of thousands took to the streets of Romania’s capital Bucharest on Sunday to protest against the Constitutional Court’s invalidation of the presidential election.
The court annulled the results of the first round in December after independent candidate Calin Georgescu outperformed all other candidates.
Videos circulating on social media show demonstrators in Bucharest honking horns and waving Romania’s flags, shouting “freedom” and “bring back the second round.” Some were seen carrying portraits of Georgescu or Orthodox Christian icons, and others placards with the slogans “Democracy is not optional” and “We want free elections.”
More than 100,000 people took part in the protest, media outlets stated, citing the event’s organizers. Police reportedly estimated the numbers were much lower.
