Is Romania doing the typical EU thing -- i.e. preventing any real, normal, conservatives from running against the ruling mob? Since Reuters labels Georgescu as "far right", I have to believe he's actually a normal conservative because that's who get's the "far-right" label from the #FakeNews media . . . "A threat to our democracy..." Romania's Georgescu Banned From Appearing In Media As State Accuses Him Of 'Fascism, Attempted Coup' Prosecutors have revealed that police have raided nearly 50 addresses of people and associations connected with Romanian presidential front-runner Calin Georgescu, who has denied all wrongdoing and said state authorities are trying to block his candidacy. Georgescu will reportedly be released from a hours-long detention by police for questioning. But emerging reports say he's been charged with 'attempted coup' and advancing 'false information'. Reuters has summarized the charges against him include forming an antisemitic organization, promoting war criminals and fascist organizations, and communicating false information. A Romanian Court Press Release cites "attempted incitement against the constitutional order" (coup), "spreading false information," as well as "false statements on campaign funding," and links to "fascist, xenophobic, and antisemitic organizations." https://www.zerohedge.com/political/romanian-police-nab-election-front-runner-calin-georgescu-after-russian-interference
