George Simion, presidential candidate and vice president of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Party, has filed a formal petition with Romania’s Constitutional Court to annul the May 2025 presidential elections, citing massive foreign interference that he claims compromised the sovereign will of the Romanian people.
Simion, who secured the support of more than 5.3 million voters in an extremely tight race, shared an exclusive press release directly with Gateway Hispanic, detailing allegations of electoral manipulation.
In this document, the patriotic leader denounces the intervention of both state and non-state actors—primarily from France and Moldova—in a coordinated effort to manipulate institutions, control media narratives, and impose an electoral outcome that does not reflect the people’s will.
Below is the full press release shared by Simion with Gateway Hispanic:
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bucharest, Romania – May 20, 2025George Simion Calls on the Constitutional Court to Annul Presidential Elections Citing Foreign Interference and Coordinated Manipulation
George Simion, presidential candidate and Vice President of the ECR Party, has officially submitted a formal request to the Constitutional Court of Romania to annul the May 2025 presidential elections, citing foreign interference by both state and non-state actors—now proven through hard evidence.
Simion received the support of over 5.3 million Romanian voters in an extraordinarily tight and highly contested race—a clear sign that the outcome of this election is not just about numbers, but about the legitimacy and integrity of the entire democratic process.
“The very reasons used to annul the December elections—external influence and institutional compromise—are even more clearly present today,” stated Simion. “We now have irrefutable evidence of meddling by France, Moldova, and other actors, in an orchestrated effort to manipulate institutions, direct media narratives, and ultimately impose a result that does not reflect the sovereign will of the Romanian people.”
Simion has urged all Romanian citizens to file individual appeals with the Constitutional Court, contesting the legality of the elections. To facilitate this action, he has published a model appeal along with clear instructions to guide voters through the process and empower them to take constitutional action.
In a powerful development, Simion referenced the message sent by the owner of Telegram to all platform users, warning about electoral manipulation efforts targeting Romania. Simion has now called on the Court to invite the Telegram CEO to testify and share firsthand what he knows about the disinformation and digital operations that interfered with Romania’s elections.
“We will not surrender. We will not betray. This is not the end—this is the beginning of a great national awakening,” Simion declared.
The statement, received directly by Gateway Hispanic, underscores the gravity of the accusations.
Simion not only denounces foreign interference, but also highlights the complicity of national institutions, such as the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which he has urged to immediately investigate the reported irregularities—especially in Moldova, where massive efforts to manipulate the vote allegedly took place.
A central element of the complaint is the testimony of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.
Durov stated that the French government pressured him to censor Romanian conservative channels ahead of the elections—a request he refused. Simion has asked the Constitutional Court to summon Durov to provide details on these digital disinformation operations.
Moreover, Simion has empowered Romanian citizens by publishing a sample appeal for voters to individually challenge the elections before the Court. This call to action aims to mobilize the population in defense of national sovereignty, according to a message posted on X by the candidate himself.
The context surrounding these elections has been marked by prior controversy. In December 2024, the presidential elections were annulled following accusations of Russian interference on TikTok, although the evidence was contested.
At that time, candidate Călin Georgescu was disqualified, and irregularities were reported such as the inclusion of deceased individuals in electoral rolls and the exclusion of thousands of diaspora voters, according to various posts on X.
In May 2025, after Simion’s first-round victory, a petition was filed to annul the results, but the Constitutional Court validated them days later.
However, the electoral process concluded with the victory of a globalist candidate, during a period marked by manipulation allegations.
In recent years, several countries have faced accusations of electoral manipulation via digital platforms. For instance, in Brazil, the Supreme Court suspended social media platform X in August 2024 after accusing it of spreading disinformation.
This precedent highlights the vulnerability of democratic processes to digital operations.
Simion remains unshakable. In his statement, he asserted that this is not the end, but the beginning of a «great national awakening.»
His message resonates with millions of Romanians who see in him a stronghold against the globalist forces threatening their sovereignty.
George Simion’s fight is the fight of an entire nation refusing to be subjugated by foreign elites and their local puppets.
The evidence presented by Simion, supported by documented irregularities, is a wake-up call that cannot be ignored. Romania does not deserve to be a pawn on the globalist chessboard.
It is time for the Constitutional Court to act courageously and annul these fraudulent elections. Romanian sovereignty is not for sale, and Simion is the voice leading this resistance.
The Romanian people must rise and demand justice—because democracy is not negotiable!
