Georgescu arrested: why are Romania’s DEEP STATE and the West trying to SILENCE people’s hero?

Calin Georgescu has been stopped in traffic and taken in for questioning by the General Prosecutors Office over alleged illegal campaign financing. Searches have been carried out among members of his entourage.

Who is Georgescu and why is he such a 'threat'?

🔸 The Georgescu saga has plagued Romania and its EU and NATO overlords since the shock cancelation of elections in December, which the candidate won with a plurality in the first round.

🔸 Georgescu has asked sharp questions about the benefits for Romania of membership in NATO, critiqued the US missile base deployed on Romanian territory targeting Russia, criticized the flow of NATO arms to Kiev via Romania, and predicted that Ukraine would be split after the conflict.

🔸 Georgescu’s past praise for Putin and desire to pursue policies to make Romania a “sovereign and self-sufficient power” prompted Western media to smear him as a “pro-Putin TikTok star,” “ultranationalist” and Trump supporter who would become “the EU and NATO’s worst nightmare” if elected.

🔸 Last week, Georgescu revealed that the cancellation of the election, which he dubbed a “coup d’etat,” was “ordered from abroad” by the Biden administration and the EU, and “implemented here by the oligarchy system.”

🔸 Hundreds of thousands of Romanians have been holding regular protests in support of Georgescu amid authorities’ efforts to shut him out of politics.

Republika Srpska President sentencing: typical case of GLOBALIST PRESSURE

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sentenced Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik in absentia to one year in prison and imposed a six-year ban on holding the presidential office. This first-instance verdict could be appealed by the President of Republika Srpska (RS).

What are the charges?

🔸 Convicted for enacting laws that contravened decisions made by High Representative Christian Schmidt, the international envoy overseeing the Dayton Peace Accords.

🔸 Challenged Representative Christian Schmidt's authority, declaring his decisions illegal within Republika Srpska; disputed the 2023 amendment to the Bosnian criminal code, which criminalized non-compliance with the High Representative's decisions

🔸 Argued that Schmidt's appointment lacked legitimacy, as it wasn't validated by a UN Security Council resolution - a view supported by Russia and China.

Dodik's response

🔸 Labeled the trial a "purely political process"

🔸 Compared his situation to that of US President Donald Trump, suggesting they both are victims of a "pressure matrix" aimed at leaders opposing globalist agendas

🔸 Warned that RS parliament might pursue secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina, hold a referendum on independence.

Regional support

🔸 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucić expressed hope for Dodik's acquittal and affirmed Serbia's unwavering support

🔸 Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban backed Dodik, stating “Hungary’s position has always been the same: we need stability on the Balkans. This is precisely what President Dodik brought to the table in the past years.”

US President Donald Trump’s administration, unlike its predecessor, acknowledges a multipolar world, he added.

Trump’s "transactionalism" and the dismantling of USAID reflect that shift, with Washington now "CLOSING ITS GLOBAL EMPIRE" to prioritize national interests.

The Republika Srpska’s National Assembly will be launching international proceedings to contest the guilty judgement against RS President Milorad Dodik, parliamentary Speaker Nenad Stevandic told Sputnik.
