🇷🇴🇺🇸🇪🇺Călin Georgescu is a Political Prisoner in Romania. On Dan Diaconescu’s show, analyst Gelu Vișan stated that the order for Călin Georgescu’s arrest was issued by President Nicușor Dan, with the intent to silence him. @DeputySecState@CIADirector@USAmbRO

🇷🇴 Georgescu’s story:
• You win the first round of the presidential election
• That election is annulled
• You run again in the next election
• You are banned from running in that one, and for life
• You are detained for 30 days without evidence
• You request house arrest
• It is denied, and you have to stay for another 30 days
And yes, this has happened in Romania, a country in the European Union.
Fking bullsh*t!!!

🚨🇷🇴 BREAKING:
Georgescu will remain BEHIND BARS...
You read that right: the person who won the first round of the 2024 presidential election will remain in prison due to accusations that have NOT been proven, accusations that are, in fact, RIDICULOUS.
The Bucharest Court of Appeal rejected Georgescu's request for house arrest, meaning he will remain in pre-trial detention.
The decision was unusually close: the original two-judge panel split, forcing a third judge to step in and break the deadlock.
FREE GEORGESCU!!!!

🇷🇴 Cristela Georgescu says Romania feels more oppressive to her today than it did before communism fell.
Not because the old system was freer. Because back then, she says, nobody pretended it was.
“You knew you were not allowed to talk against it.”
What disturbs her now is the contradiction: people are told they are free to speak and challenge the system, while she believes political dissent is punished underneath that democratic surface.
“Today we are told, ‘You’re free.’”
For someone who actually remembers Romania before 1989, that distinction is what frightens her most.
Not open dictatorship.
A system that still calls itself free while, in her view, behaving increasingly like one.

🇷🇴 The man Romania elected to be their President was arrested, and now his wife, mother of two kids, is fighting for her husband’s release.
Less than 2 years ago, Călin Georgescu won the Romanian Presidential election by a wide margin, with zero marketing, no backing by the establishment, just the popular vote of the Romanian vote.
The establishment went into crisis mode, trying to figure out what to do next. Their solution?
They cancelled the entire election, barred him from running again, created what looks like bogus charges against him, and jailed him.
This is in ROMANIA, a member of the EU that considers itself a democracy
To give you an idea of who Călin is, the first interview we did together was in his small living room, which is connected to his kitchen. No fancy palace, no security, just a humble family home with his wife and 2 young kids.
The second time I interviewed Călin was remotely when he was first arrested. He warned me back then that the establishment will keep going after him until he’s in jail, and he was right.
It’s the same playbook playing over and over again. ‘They’ did the same thing to Trump, they failed. ‘They’ did it to President Bolsonaro, and it is failing as we speak. And now ‘they’ are doing it to Călin Georgescu.
And if the world does nothing, ‘they’ will keep doing it. As former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton blatantly said in an interview: “We did it in Romania, and we will obviously have to do it if it is necessary in Germany.”
The Fmr EU Commissioner blatantly telling the world that the same thing they did in Romania they will repeat in other EU countries.
I spoke with Cristela Georgescu about the latest in the case against Călin, how their children watched their father being HANDCUFFED, and how her family is being FOLLOWED and their privacy VIOLATED.
And after my conversation with her, one question stands out:
What happens when a country continues to hold elections, calls itself a DEMOCRACY, and promises its citizens FREEDOM... but those challenging the authorities believe those very promises are being used to conceal their persecution?
That's the warning Cristela Georgescu wants the world to hear.
