🇷🇴 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.

🇷🇴 I’ve been deeply uncomfortable with the Călin Georgescu story from the beginning.
He WON THE MOST VOTES in Romania’s 2024 presidential first round. That election was then ANNULLED.
Now, before being convicted of anything, he is behind bars.
A lower court initially rejected prosecutors’ request to detain him for 30 days and imposed judicial controls instead. Prosecutors appealed, and the Bucharest Court of Appeals reversed that decision.
Georgescu denies the fraud allegations against him.
Maybe prosecutors have evidence that ultimately justifies what they’re doing. I’m not pretending to know what a court hasn’t yet decided.
But this is precisely when presumption of innocence has to MEAN SOMETHING.
Not when the defendant is popular or sympathetic.
When he is politically radioactive, and the power of the state is being used against him.
What are these right for if they can just take them from you as easily?!

🇷🇴 George Simion believes Călin Georgescu’s imprisonment is political.
Georgescu is currently in 30-day pretrial detention in a €1.1 million fraud case, but Simion argues the real reason he is being targeted is much bigger: he challenged Romania’s political establishment and refused to fall in line after the annulled 2024 presidential election.
“They consider us a danger.”
Simion says Georgescu’s continued popularity and refusal to support what he calls “puppet governments” made him a target.
And then he made it personal:
“After Călin, I will come next.”
That is how Romania’s opposition now sees this fight: not simply as another criminal case, but as a struggle over who is allowed to challenge the system.

@LucianMindruta Oare cum te simți când toate comentariile sunt împotriva ta? Nu ți-e silă de tine? Oare ai vreun simț?
Oare când toți te înjură, n-ar fi mai bine să taci decât să-ți îndeși în gură atâta rahat pe care nu mai ai cum să-l speli mai târziu când toți și toate ți se vor întoarce..?
@raspicat Nu-i nimic. Cei de care aparții tu sunt ok 💯👌
Naționaliștii români vă provoacă convulsii.. naționaliștii ucraineni vă provoacă orgasm.
Ați fost dresați să urâți la comandă, să huiduiți la comandă, să linșați la comandă, să votați la comandă dar mai ales să gândiți la comandă.
@MarioFT31@bobbydtiktok Deci dacă tu transporți milioane de $ și € (în plase de rafie și genți) și kilograme de lingouri fără justificare și te rețin autoritățile pentru explicații, te-au răpit?
@Valentinul25@bobbydtiktok După ce că sunteți total neinformați, mai emiteți și păreri. S-a dus la studii 1 săptămână în timpul vacanței școlare din România, ea fiind studentă la București. Dar așa vă spală ăștia de la USR creierul și voi ingerați tot ce vă varsă ei. Acceptați-vă repercursiunile!!!
@MrMrjunker @bobbydtiktok Deci logica ta ar fi așa: dacă ai bani să te duci, rămâi acolo și descurcă-te! Poate ar trebui idioții ăștia să facă o selecție în funcție de venituri ca să vadă pe cine aduc ei acasă sau nu?? Ce vină poartă copilul ăla??
@MrMrjunker @bobbydtiktok S-a dus în interes de studii 1 săptămână, iar dacă faptul că poartă numele pe care îl poartă este criteriu de selecție, nu faci decât să discriminezi la fel ca idioata de pește prăjit. Nu s-a dus în vacanță și nici asta n-ar mai conta atâta timp cât este o situație de urgență!!!
@Ovidiu430541447@bobbydtiktok@SamsungRomania Și pe mine mă încearcă gândul să cumpăr un Honor 6 Pro Max (nou) în locul unui Samsung S24/25 second-hand..
Sunt utilizator de Samsung de când mă știu dar am nevoie de părerea unor utilizatori asemeni mie.. Diferența o văd în părerile unora.. însă nu-s decisă.
Ce părere ai?
