Breaking news. Georgescu is not allowed to stand in rerun of the presidential election

The Electoral Office has decided Calin Georgescu, who won the first round of the cancelled Presidential election in November, will not be allowed to stand in the postponed election. It's a brave new world. Frau von der Leyen and the panjandrums of the European Union will be pleased, so will the Soros people in Bucharest, but in Washington DC there will be another view.

Will there be an uprising like in December 1989? No, I doubt it, though I was told there would be.

Almost everyone I know will be relieved except the waiters, porters, taxi drivers and shop assistants, the forty percent of the electorate who voted Georgescu last time and many who didn't. 

I think absolutely any citizen should be allowed to stand in an election even if in prison. Eugene Debs the Socialist contested a US president election from behind bars in 1920.
