A Romanian court has upheld restrictive measures against the frontrunner in the country’s presidential election, complicating the political landscape ahead of the vote. The candidate, under investigation for unspecified charges, faces limitations on campaigning, prompting accusations of judicial overreach and concerns about electoral fairness. Supporters argue it’s an attempt to silence a popular voice, while authorities insist it’s a necessary step to ensure integrity. The ruling has heightened tensions in Romania, with potential ripple effects on public trust in democratic institutions as the nation navigates its role within the European Union.
