🚨🇷🇴GEORGESCU: TRUMP MUST DEFEND DEMOCRACY—THE WORLD IS WATCHING
"I have an important message for President Trump and Vice President Vance: we recognize the United States as the flag bearer of democracy. Because only this flag of democracy gives and receives respect from the entire world.
So my message, particularly in light of yesterday, is this: if in any country, by accident or otherwise, democracy fails, then the United States fails.
Because the United States must protect this flag. This is absolutely obvious—it is the most important point. The U.S. is the true symbol of democracy, and this is recognized by everyone.
With this in mind, I strongly urge President Trump to take this situation seriously, to understand that this is not a game. We, the people, face a deep state, and this is the moment to forge a partnership that is built on one word: freedom."

🚨🇷🇴 EXCLUSIVE: MORE FOOTAGE OF CALIN GEORGESCU GETTING ARRESTED
He won a Presidential election, so they cancel the election and now arrest him.
'Democracy’ in action in EU and NATO member: Romania
See below tweets in the chain for the full story of what I woke up to this morning.
A sad day for freedom.
🚨🇷🇴GEORGESCU PLACED UNDER JUDICIAL CONTROL FOR 60 DAYS
Under this shocking restriction, Georgescu is banned from posting online, effectively silencing his voice during the election.
This move is a slap in the face of democracy and free speech in Romania.
Despite the crackdown, Georgescu remains optimistic, vowing to continue fighting against the abuses and for democracy.

🇷🇴Călin Georgescu, winner of the Presidential Election in Romania arrested! @CG_Romania
EU has gone fully totalitarian!
They simply won't tolerate anyone standing in the way of the Globalitarian Misanthropists' agenda.
🚨🇷🇴 EXCLUSIVE: ROMANIA'S RIGHTFUL* PRESIDENT ARRSTED!
Below is a video I just received from Calin Georgescu's team showing him getting arrested, 2.5 hours before our second interview, and less than an hour after our call.
This comes after his supporters were all raided, less than 2 weeks after my interview with him.
DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK IN THE EU!
Remember what former EU Commissioner Bretton said a few weeks ago: ‘What Was Done In Romania May Be Needed In Germany’
@elonmusk: "How can a judge cancel an election and not be considered a dictator?"
@JDvance: “You don’t have common values if you cancel elections because you don’t like the result”
* When I say “rightful”, I mean that he should have been President, but is not technically president—just making this clear so Romanian authorities don’t try to arrest me as they have with others today.
