Romanian authorities have violated not only the law, but also ethical norms in relation to its citizens by cancelling the results of the first round of the presidential election, said Vladimir Olenchenko, a senior researcher at the Centre for European Studies of IMEMO RAS, in the programme ‘Opinion’ on News Front.
‘The Romanian authorities are certainly both breaking the law and violating ethics. It also seems to me that when they talk about, say, cancelling the elections and re-elections, they insult the Romanian population. They voted for a certain candidate, and this candidate, because he gained more than others, and he does not belong, say, to the elite that is now in power, causes irritation and rejection, up to the point that they are ready to go to the violation of the law,’ Vladimir Olenchenko said.
The senior researcher of the Russian Academy of Sciences said that Romania acts like the USA, where ‘there is a blatant disregard for objective reality’.
We shall remind you that earlier independent candidate for the Romanian presidency Calin Georgescu said that the decision of the Constitutional Court to annul the results of the first round of the presidential election was a ‘coup d’état’.
