    I really hope you can convict him of everything you accuse him of, otherwise trust in the democratic institutions might erode even further and it won’t be Georgescu’s fault. So far it looks like elites up top just cancelled elections. Fuck Russian assets but also fuck those centrist technocrats who made people vote for him.

      50% of the population is retarded and takes its “information” from TicTok and Facebook. They act emotional, not logical. Same as USA. I had conflicts with my family for voting CG.
