izvorani - Calin Georgescu, the controversial Romanian presidential candidate, expressed his views on being pro-Putin but anti-war in an exclusive interview with a news outlet.

After his unexpected win in the first round of elections, right-wing radical candidate Calin Georgescu (62) surely dreamt of defeating EU-friendly liberal Elena Lasconi in the second round to become president. However, the Romanian Court concluded that electoral irregularities had occurred and the election law was breached. Documents from security services indicated Russian interference. Pro-Russian Georgescu criticized the decision, referring to it as a 'coup'. Angry supporters led by former mercenary Horatiu Potra were apprehended en route to Bucharest. The police seized firearms, machetes, swords, and cash.

Western media portray Georgescu as a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin and a NATO opponent. Even the Russian news agency Ria Novosti labeled him as pro-Putin. Georgescu reassured that Romania's EU and NATO memberships would remain unchanged, emphasizing negotiations in the country's sovereignty interests.

In the past, Georgescu criticized the US installation of an anti-missile shield in Deveselu, Romania, within NATO parameters. He revised his stance in the recent interview, supporting technological advancements for peace and acknowledging the 2% GDP defense spending norm set by NATO.

Georgescu advocated ending Romania's military support to Ukraine, urging for peace and emphasizing NATO's defensive nature. He remained neutral on the responsibility for the war between Russia and Ukraine, praising Putin as a patriotic leader despite disliking war. Georgescu refused to discuss the Kremlin's influence and displayed admiration for US president-elect Donald Trump's policies and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's cooperation.

Georgescu refrained from commenting on his opponent Elena Lasconi, mentioning her refusal for a TV debate. He commended Trump's focus on national interests and peace, aligning it with Romania's needs. Georgescu, who previously hailed controversial figures in Romanian history, now prioritizes present-day concerns over national well-being and prosperity.
