There's quite a large difference between us all knowing something and it being proven to a degree to make a national level decision on it.

- throw_pm23 2y agoThey had to make a quick call, in my book they acted boldly, the risks of the alternative were greater. Everyone has time to cool down and think about it, and the candidate can win if he is good. In the last few days all new information has pointed in the opposite direction.
- mariusor 2y ago> quick call They sat on this info for almost three weeks. Doing it now discards so much money and effort invested by people working the election stations, the people in other countries that already voted, etc. Not to mention that it communicates to the everyone that their vote doesn't count if it's not for the right candidate. A vote made under wrong assumptions is still a vote cast democratically. In my opinion this late decision makes a mocking of a real democratic process. It's also very likely to have the side-effect of destroying Mrs. Lasconi's chances at the presidency. Who do you think that the Georgescu voters will vote for now? Not her for sure. I bet there will be a Simion vs. Ciolacu battle next time, and there we'll go again with choosing the "lesser of the two evils".
- throw_pm23 2y agoOn the second point I completely agree with you. She appears to be collateral damage at this point. Perhaps that will raise sympathy and she can get into the second round again.
- kranke155 2y agoTheres been a lot of kurfuffle about it and apparently even the other politicians think this court decision was too much. Im not sure why and how this works, just saying that having Russia create 10 million fake accounts (that we know of) in a country of 19 million is clearly foreign interference.
