The decision of the Constitutional Court of Romania is an official coup d'état, on that day the Romanian state trampled on democracy, independent far-right presidential candidate Calin Georgescu said in a video address broadcast on local television Reality, BTA reported.

“Together with the people, we did what we said - we wrote history. It is time to show that we are a brave people. Democracy is under attack. We see party leaders who fear that the files will come to light. On that day, the corrupt system made a deal with the devil. I have only one contract - with the Romanian people and with God. Today is just the beginning of a new page in the history of this country. The whole world knows what is happening in Romania. Things won't stay that way. "Only the Romanian people stand behind me," said Georgescu.

After the broadcast of the clip, he joined the television airwaves by phone. Asked again about campaign expenses, Georgescu once again said he had spent zero lei. He denied that another country was behind his campaign, as declassified documents from a meeting of the Supreme Council for National Defense show. Asked about the possibility of being barred from running again, he said "we'll see.

Earlier today, Romania's Constitutional Court annulled the first round of Romania's presidential election. Magistrates made the decision after an emergency meeting. The judges met in an extraordinary meeting after the institution received a large number of new requests for cashing in the presidential elections. The requests refer to documents declassified by Romania's Supreme Council of National Defense, which say presidential candidate Calin Georgescu's campaign was the result of orchestrated manipulation outside the country.
