The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Authorities in Romania continue to violate democratic principles and are now trying to prevent a legitimate candidate from participating in the presidential election. State institutions have been weaponized to crush dissent and block figures that dare to challenge the European establishment.

ZeroHedge

Pro-establishment narrative

Romanian authorities are doing what is needed to protect democratic institutions from foreign interference and extremist elements. There's plenty of evidence of Russia meddling in the Romanian presidential election on behalf of far-right Georgescu. Rule of law must prevail over malicious foreign interference.
