The EU Parliament’s ruling coalition denied a debate on the Romanian elections, after banning nationalist Călin Georgescu, raising concerns over democracy and rule of law. Key points:
- The ‘Ursula coalition’ rejected conservative calls for a debate on Romania’s contested elections.
- Călin Georgescu (AUR/ECR) was banned following December’s annulled elections, allegedly due to unproven Russian interference.
- Georgescu’s absence led to violent protests; AUR’s George Simion may replace him.
- Mainstream parties label ECR and ESN as “pro-Russian extremists.”
- The Constitutional Court has a deadline to resolve Georgescu’s appeal.
