The Coup in Romania: A Struggle for Sovereignty
13 december 2024 | Kees Cramer
Since Sunday, November 24, 2024, Romania has been on an unprecedented political rollercoaster, with events escalating rapidly. The tightly packed election calendar included three key dates: the first round of the presidential election on November 24, the parliamentary elections on December 1, and the second round of the presidential election scheduled for December 8. However, what began as a relatively normal election cycle quickly turned into a fight for Romania’s very sovereignty.
On the night of November 24, exit polls shocked the political establishment. Calin Georgescu, an independent candidate, was unexpectedly in third place. By 9 PM, the globalist powers that be began to realize that their carefully laid plans were at risk. As the night progressed, Georgescu surged to second place by 11 PM, and by 2 AM, he was in the lead. This was a major surprise and a clear sign that the Romanian people were waking up to the need for change.
But this wasn’t going to be a simple election. The next day, the so-called "globalist jihad" was unleashed, echoing the same kind of forces that worked against figures like Pim Fortuyn in 2002. One of the most significant attacks came from Cristian Terhes, a Romanian MEP, who had previously been aligned with the AUR party before defecting. Terhes appealed to the Constitutional Court for alleged fraud in vote counting, aiming to derail Georgescu’s momentum.
The court, however, upheld the election results on December 2 and allowed the second round of voting to proceed as scheduled. This decision, though, was just the beginning of a much larger political battle.
Georgescu, who can be compared to figures like Thierry Baudet or Robert Kennedy Jr., has emerged as a charismatic nationalist voice in Romania. Much like Baudet, Georgescu’s intellectual background does not hinder his connection to the Romanian people. His direct, no-nonsense approach resonates deeply with those frustrated by globalist influence and the erosion of national sovereignty. Georgescu's views on the environment and globalism, especially his criticism of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, reflect a deep desire to return to a more rooted, natural way of life. His platform focuses on the core issues of water, food, and energy—areas he believes the globalist agenda has corrupted. This message of self-reliance, wrapped in the framework of Orthodox Christian values, is one of the reasons why he found a groundswell of support, particularly among the youth on social media platforms like TikTok.
This popularity did not sit well with the powers that be. By December 6, Romania’s Constitutional Court took the shocking step of annulling the first round of presidential elections, declaring they needed to be rerun. The decision came when voting for the 2nd round already started in the diaspora; Australia and New Zealand. The move to cancel the results was an outrageous act of political interference, clearly aimed at stopping a candidate who represented Romanian sovereignty.
This was not a decision made in a vacuum. Behind it lay the influence of President Klaus Iohannis, whose intelligence services reportedly hastily compiled a dossier accusing Georgescu of Russian interference in the election—an accusation that was unsupported by any real evidence. The timing of this dossier, just days after Georgescu was poised to win, is deeply suspicious. The facts are clear: the Constitutional Court acted outside its legal authority by making a decision that was retroactive, rejecting its own previous ruling that had validated the election results after a recount of the 1st round results. It became increasingly clear that this was not an independent judicial process but a political manoeuvre orchestrated to eliminate a strong nationalist candidate.
Georgescu’s political vision is one of national renewal, focusing on the reclamation of Romania’s natural resources and energy sovereignty. His promise to nationalise Romania’s oil and gas industries and to withdraw from the EU’s globalist policies aligns him with a broader movement of countries that seek to break free from the stranglehold of international financial elites. His position is clear: he will not bow to foreign powers or allow Romania’s wealth to be looted by global interests. This stands in stark contrast to the current leadership of Romania, which has allowed foreign corporations to plunder the country's resources, including its fertile agricultural land, natural gas, and rare metals.
As the political situation in Romania escalates, the globalist forces are desperate to maintain control. The European Union is in turmoil, with its economic system teetering on the edge of collapse, and Romania’s rich resources are increasingly seen as a key prize. There is speculation that the EU, led by France and Germany, is willing to sacrifice Romania’s sovereignty to secure access to these resources. This is particularly alarming given Romania's strategic importance, not just in Europe, but also in the wider geopolitical context.
The power struggle in Romania is part of a broader global battle for control. The European elites, including figures like Klaus Iohannis and his NATO allies, are pushing Romania towards greater involvement in NATO’s military operations, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine. Georgescu, however, has been outspoken in his opposition to NATO’s expansion and Romania’s role in the conflict. His vision for peace in the Black Sea region, and his calls for an immediate halt to all payments to Ukraine, have made him a target for those who want to drag Romania into a war that serves the interests of foreign powers, not the Romanian people.
The sudden cancellation of the elections has triggered widespread outrage in Romania. Social media is ablaze with messages of defiance, and many prominent political figures have come out against the coup. Even some within the globalist camp, like Georgescu’s opponent Elena Lasconi, have condemned the actions of the Constitutional Court and called for accountability. This is a crucial moment for Romania. The coup against Georgescu is not just an attack on one man, but an assault on the democratic process itself.
Despite the enormous pressure, both Georgescu and George Simion, the leader of Romania’s largest sovereignist party, AUR, have urged their supporters to remain calm and avoid street protests. The political battle has shifted from the streets to the courts, and the stakes have never been higher. Romania’s future as a sovereign nation is on the line.
Georgescu’s calls for a return to Romanian nationalism and sovereignty have struck a chord with a growing number of Romanians, who are fed up with foreign interference and the erosion of their cultural identity. The globalists, however, are determined to prevent this shift from taking hold. The political establishment, with the backing of powerful international interests, is willing to go to extreme lengths to preserve its grip on power.
The events of December 2024 represent a pivotal moment in Romania’s history. Will the Romanian people allow their country to be dictated to by foreign powers, or will they stand up and reclaim their sovereignty? The outcome of this struggle is far from certain, but one thing is clear: the Romanian people are ready for change. And Calin Georgescu, despite the globalist opposition, remains their best hope for a future free from external control and influence.
