What is going on in Romania? Part II
From KETZERBRIEFE No 250 (Heretics' Letters)
Persistent breach of constitution in advance of the Romanian presidential election and the hunting down of democratic demonstrators. What the “truthful press” is not reporting:
In Issue 249 of the KETZERBRIEFE we documented the putschist conditions in Romania: on the one hand the presidential candidacy of Diana Şoşoacă was rejected by the electoral commission with the purely political and therefore naturally inadmissible justification that an opponent of NATO and the EU must not be allowed to become the state president of Romania, and on the other the election that subsequently took place without her candidacy was annulled because the presidential candidate the people had given the most votes to, the previously largely unknown Călin Georgescu, whose main demand was the immediate cessation of support for Ukraine, did not suit EU policy as guided by the US mega capital. The run-off between the two best-placed candidates was cancelled and the initial election was annulled under the absurd and indeed mendacious pretext that the outcome was achieved due to foreign interference and a new election was set for May 4 2025. This led to major protest demonstrations in several cities in Romania, radically under-reported by our “quality media”, especially the capital city of Bucharest, under the slogan: “Run-off Now!” But that only hardened the new dictatorship in the Eastern EU state. Now, once again all candidates had to register with the electoral commission for the upcoming renewed presidential election, which entailed compliance with several formal conditions.
When Georgescu was on his way to submitting the documents for his renewed candidacy on February 26 2025 – on crutches after a recent knee operation – he was arrested, interrogated by the state prosecutor for several hours and only allowed to return home under restrictive conditions. He was accused of several criminal acts, the accusations being either entirely fabricated or purely subjective and therefore inadmissible, summarised in the formula “suspicion of incitement to acts against the constitutional order”, “false information concerning the financing of his election campaign" and “suspicion of disseminating fascist and anti-Semitic thinking". The first point encompasses absurdities such as supporting a kind of armed pensioners' uprising that was intended to take down the state (that sounds and is similarly crazy to the alleged 'Reichsbürger' wheelchair putsch in Germany or the alleged plans of some pensioners on kidnapping the German health minister Karl Lauterbach: the former, however, were sentenced to several years in order to force the credibility of the lies!), supporting former foreign legionnaires and the making of a prohibited “legionnaire's salute”. Nationwide there have already been 47 house searches since December and a further two on the morning of his arrest; at least 21 people have been arrested and once again allegedly large amounts of weapons and ammunition and also cash confiscated. As soon as Georgescu’s arrest became known, spontaneous protest demonstrations took place in Bucharest, and the AUR (Party for the Unification of Romanians) politician George Simion, who also stands up for the sovereignty of Romania, supported by Anamaria Gavrilă of the POT (Young People’s Party), both went straight to the central public prosecutor's office together with several other deputies, and demanded a statement about the arrest; they also very rightly accused the state prosecutors of abuse of office, because their sole purpose was to prevent Georgescu from standing for election again. (In consultation with Georgescu, Simion had also stood down himself in order not to split the national sovereignty opposition.) And just a few days after the arrest there was a protest in Bucharest of more than 100,000 Romanians (!) coming from all over the country, but also arriving by plane or on countless buses from numerous European countries, including Bulgaria, Serbia, Spain and Germany in order to protest against the arrest of the strongest presidential candidate and the concomitant constitutional breach. The demonstrations were peaceful throughout and at the same time characterised by powerful slogans, above all “Run-off now!", i.e. against the unconstitutional annulment of the election. They also shouted “We want peace, not war!" (here is the snag, of course), “National unity”, “Dignity!", “Justice!” and “Down with the government!” The most that could be read about this in our lying press was about “a few thousand supporters of the far-right extremist, pro-Kremlin Georgescu”. (Neither of these terms can be applied to him, since he himself speaks, for example, of the central public prosecutor's office as “part of the Communist-Bolshevist system”, as if Stalin had never existed and the Eastern Bloc had not collapsed, but he has also fittingly said in an interview that nowadays any act against the system is defamed as “pro-Russian”, defamed, because “pro-Russian” in the parts of the Western Bloc that have been robbed of their sovereignty is used as pejoratively as “pro-Jewish” was under Hitler.)
Rumanians travel from abroad to save their country from dictatorship.
“A few hundred demonstrators…” (our lying press, doing their nickname chronic honour)
In the ensuing days, Georgescu, in accordance with the chicaneries forced upon him, had to report to the court daily and was surrounded there ‒ as was his private home ‒ by hordes of journalists and was rendered physically unconscious, mainly by drooling Western Bloc media. But there were also others, such as the more benevolent portal “Realitatea”. Some elected representatives of the Western Bloc that are not subservient to mono-capitalism such as Matteo Salvini also made contact; “Fox News” did an interview, and Elon Musk also picked up on a report by Mario Nawfal and also announced his and Tucker Carlson’s participation in the Eastern European Peace Forum, which is convening on 4 April 2025. But in the aligned Romanian media the smears are limitless, just as they are in its Western European counterparts.
On 8 March Georgescu set off once again to submit his documents for his application to run for president, and was accompanied by about 2000 people who wanted to make sure he would not be arrested again.
As soon as the documents have been submitted, the electoral commission has 48 hours to accept or reject the application. A rejected candidate then either has 24 hours to appeal his rejection or a successful candidate’s opponent has 24 hours to appeal his acceptance. Allegedly the electoral commission had already received 1200 objections to Georgescu’s candidature by the time his documents were submitted; to have these “in stock” prior to submission is legally impossible. On 9 March Georgescu’s candidature was “rejected”, but not, on this occasion, because of one of the made-up criminal acts he has been accused of, but only with the shamelessly repeated “justification” that had already been burped out against Diana Şoşoacă: Anyone who is against NATO and the EU and wants sovereignty for Romania must not be allowed to become the President of Romania. (Where would we end up if the people were allowed to elect who they wanted?!?)
Actually, this “justification” should mean that the court is a fervent supporter of Georgescu. And why? Either separatism is the most sacred of rights, in which case this would apply both to Romania and its separation from the group of EU countries and to Ukraine, which for its part in equal measure demanded nothing other than separation from the Russian Federation, a demand that is so sacred that it is completely all right for so many Germans to lose their possessions and perhaps even their lives to push it through, isn’t it?! Or separatism is not a sacred right, in which case any war support for Ukraine must stop ‒ and Georgescu’s basic demand is nothing different. So what now, then?!? This double standard, which has already been applied during the destruction of Yugoslavia in regard to Croatian separatism, unlike, for instance, the separation of the Basque region or Catalonia from Spain, is repugnant and as such easy to see through ‒ only steely, well-trained doublethink will help against seeing through it.
Numerous supporters of Georgescu, i.e. supporters of fair elections meaning sovereignty of the people, had gathered in front of the electoral commission building, and when it was announced and word had got around that Georgescu’s candidature had been suppressed, numerous citizens came together for a protest demonstration in no time at all. After just a few hours the number had risen to 8000-10,000 people (the Western Bloc media lied this figure down to a few hundred...). They shouted slogans such as “Freedom!”, “The Constitutional Court is sordid!”, “Ursula, don’t forget, Romania doesn’t belong to you!”, “We don’t want to be ruled by criminals!”, “Hypocrites!” and “Stand up, Romania!”, or sang songs such as “We’re not leaving, we’re not going home until freedom has been reclaimed!”. They chanted: “We want justice!”, “Lying press!” and “Georgescu, our last hope, we’ll defend you with our lives!”. But the police were prepared and equipped noticeably martially from the outset, which meant they were expecting violent confrontations, which had clearly been prepared by provocateurs. And these were not long in coming: in exactly the same style as the destruction of the peaceful gilets jaunes protests in France, all at once, and not for the first time in Bucharest, bull-necked hooligans covered up and dressed all in black appeared and started to throw stones and smash windows. That gave the state-loyal police the green light for the massive deployment of tear gas. The desired violence threshold was thus transgressed: the demonstrators were chased and surrounded by police, beaten up and arrested. This went on until at least two o’clock in the morning.
Georgescu has not yet made any statement about the suppression of his candidature, except in a short speech in which he said that the EU is a dictatorship and tyranny ruled in Romania, which is correct but not precise. On 10 March 2025 he lodged an appeal against the rejection of his candidature with the note that although he will follow the legal path to the very end he is under no illusion about the result, which will already have been determined for a long time. And he is definitely right there, because the president of the Constitutional Court had already been instructed by the French ambassador, i.e. an underling of Soros’s test-tube baby Macron, in great detail on 5 March... Along with George Simion of the AUR, Georgescu seems to be considering whether to try and stand for election again at all or whether they should both agree to Simion standing instead (he could, of course, also be rejected, but this would look bad and could have an illuminating effect) and should he become president make Georgescu his prime minister. Every day, still not organised, unfortunately, large numbers of people from all across Romania gather in front of the Constitutional Court and demand the cessation of its contempt for the constitution; the lying press and politniks are increasingly being referred to as “Sorosists”, here. Enraged Romanians are also continuing to gather in huge numbers in front of the parliament; however, there they are “received” by about 3000 covered and martially armed police from special units, who seal off the building and check and photograph all identity cards! In any case, the Romanian people already tower above the lick-spittlers here, who without contradiction, for instance, allow the old Bundestag, which for psychological reasons has already been voted out, to take another hundreds of billions of euros out of their pockets for the war against Russia.
More detailed reports from our correspondents on location will follow in the coming days.
