The court said it had unanimously decided"to annul the entire electoral process for the election of the president of Romania... to ensure the correctness and legality of the electoral process."'Trampled democracy'Georgescu, a former senior civil servant, had been due to face centrist mayor Elena Lasconi in Sunday's runoff.
Washington has warned of"serious negative impacts" if Romania -- whose strategic importance has increased since Russia invaded Ukraine -- turned away from the West. The documents, drawn up for a security council meeting and published Wednesday, the authorities said data had"revealed an aggressive promotional campaign, in violation of electoral legislation, and an exploitation of algorithms to increase the popularity of Calin Georgescu at an accelerated pace".
A separate intelligence services document stated that Romania"is perceived by Moscow's policy centres as an enemy state". A critic of the EU and NATO, he says he does not want to leave either group but wants to put Romania"on the world map".While the president's post is largely ceremonial, the head-of-state has moral authority and influence on Romania's foreign policy.
