Protests continue in Romania against the annulment of the first round of the presidential election.
On the 10th local time, more than 4,000 protesters gathered in front of the Constitutional Court in Bucharest, the capital, and demanded a reversal of the presidential election's nullification decision, saying, "Resume voting."
In the first round of the presidential election held on November 24 last year, pro-Russian far-right candidate Curlin Georgescu took first place and advanced to the final round.
Although close to obscurity, Georgescu did unexpectedly well, supported by voters who grew dissatisfied with factional fighting and corruption in the establishment.
However, when suspicions of violating election laws and intervening in Russia emerged, the Constitutional Court ruled invalid and ordered a re-election.President
Claus Johanis will hold the presidency until a new president is elected through re-election.
