Social media clips show Călin Georgescu riding on white horse, performing martial arts
The pro-Putin, far-right politician who surprisingly won the first round of Romania’s presidential elections on Sunday had recently gone viral on social media without pollsters registering his surge. Călin Georgescu, 62, a former honorary member of the ultranationalist AUR party, had run as an independent and was credited with single-digit support for most of the campaign.
More recently he called for an immediate end to the war, a Kremlin line that Kyiv and its western allies have said would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation. The Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported on Georgescu’s win on Monday, saying he advocated for an alliance with Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was not familiar with Georgescu’s position on relations with Russia and would not make a prediction about the outcome of the presidential vote.
