Kremlin voiced remarks on Romania’s latest elections
(MENAFN) Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov has referred to the Romania’s latest presidential election as “strange,” with the declared winner achieving success without the presence of the frontrunner.
Euroskeptic George Simion lost against a pro-EU candidate Nicusor Dan in a runoff, winning the Romanian presidency election by a margin single digit.
The election was issued to repeat following Romania’s Constitutional Court cancelled the outcomes of the November vote, as an EU and NATO critic, independent candidate Calin Georgescu, went number one with 23 per cent. The authorities referred “irregularities” in his campaign. The allegations made by intelligence reports claiming Russian intervention, were refuted by Moscow.
Talking to journalists on Monday, Peskov said that the election “at the very least, strange,” pointing out that the candidate that had a good chance at winning were “forcibly” eliminated from the election “without much effort to provide justification.”
In addition, he stated that “But in the absence of such a frontrunner, the winner is who the winner is. This is the reality we are dealing with.”
