Thousands of supporters of the right-wing Alliance for the Unity of Romanians attended
00:07
demonstrations in Bucharest on Sunday, calling for new presidential elections after the recent
00:12
vote was annulled.
00:14
The party's leader, George Simeon, organized the march, calling on his supporters to protest
00:19
against the decision.
00:21
Kalin Georgescu, a right-wing populist, came first in the first round of the presidential
00:26
race.
00:27
But allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference led to the unprecedented
00:32
move by the Constitutional Court to cancel the second round and annul the race.
00:38
It came as Romania's outgoing president, Claus Ioannis, tasked the incumbent Prime Minister
00:43
Marcel Ciolacu with leading a new pro-European coalition government.
00:48
He said he will stay in office until his successor is appointed and has called on Romanians to
00:53
respect the court's ruling.
