00:00This hour, Romania's Prime Minister is reportedly expected to resign.

00:04That's after the country's pro-EU establishment suffered a crushing defeat in the first round

00:10of a rebooted presidential election that was supposed to go well for them.

00:14The populist George Simeon won the lion's share of Sunday's votes,

00:19netting 40% put him shy of avoiding a runoff,

00:22while the runner-up, Bucharest Mayor Nikusa Dan, secured only half that number.

00:27Mr Simeon is an ally of the former candidate Karlyn Georgescu,

00:31who was barred from the latest ballot after he won the first leg of last year's presidential race.

00:37The current leader in the race is a staunch critic of the EU, calling its apparatus corrupt.

00:43Simeon has opposed the delivery of weapons to Kiev

00:46and has questioned the status of ethnic Romanians in western Ukraine.

00:51It's what he told the Romanian people after Sunday's vote

00:54as he paid tribute to the previous frontrunner.

00:57I will remain undeniably devoted to the one who should, by right, have occupied the presidency

01:06because Romania needs his wisdom and vision

01:10and because I do not want power for myself.

01:13I am here for the return to constitutional order.

01:17I want democracy.

01:19I want normality.

01:20And I have only one objective, to give back to the Romanian people what was taken from them.

01:28Anti-establishment George Simeon received overwhelming support from Romanians living abroad,

01:34primarily in EU member states.

01:36The candidate led by a large margin in the so-called diaspora population,

01:41gaining 60% of all such votes, far ahead of his running mates.

01:45With the gap between him and the others being much greater among Romanian expatriates

01:50than in votes cast in Romania.

01:53Well, this, while support for candidates who participated in the previously annulled elections

01:57has fallen sharply below the 10% mark.

02:02Well, RT correspondent and host of the Moscow Mule Show, Shea Bose,

02:06earlier joined my colleague, Yunnan O'Neill, in the studio

02:08to discuss the EU's selective attitude when it comes to democracy.

02:13It's a rerun of election, which is now providing a result, it seems,

02:18which is the same result.

02:21Mr. Callan Georgescu was banned, as we've seen in other EU countries.

02:28And Mr. Simeon has taken his place, essentially,

02:30and has probably got a bigger vote, maybe, than Mr. Georgescu would have done.

02:34So it's when it defines this idea that there's no freedom for the enemies of freedom,

02:39as you can see from the EU,

02:41and that, you know, it's a very a la carte attitude in the European Union to democracy.

02:47You get, it's like, it reminds me of the Henry Ford old adage,

02:50you know, you can have any colour car you want once it's black,

02:52and in the EU you can have any candidate you want once it's the right candidate

02:55that supports our dominance of your country.

02:58Now, interestingly, an ex-EU commissioner,

03:01which is a very high office to hold within the European Union, Thierry Breton,

03:07he's actually basically admitted that the EU had their fingerprints all over

03:11this manipulation of the vote to try and remove Callan Georgescu,

03:15which has led to Mr. Simeon being on the ticket and winning the first round.

03:20Let's have a listen to him essentially admitting that.

03:22Quite remarkable.

03:24Let's keep our cool and enforce our laws in Europe.

03:26We need to be aware of the risk that our laws may be circumvented

03:30and that if they are not enforced, it could lead to interference.

03:34We did it in Romania.

03:35We will obviously have to do it, if necessary, in Germany.

03:38Such direct language as well, isn't it?

03:40That type of rhetoric, Shea.

03:43A pattern, though, is developing within the European Union.

03:45It's not just Romania.

03:47Leading to the question, is democracy itself on trial here?

03:50Yeah, I mean, Callan Georgescu joins a long list now, a growing list, remarkably, within the EU,

03:57which founded itself on this idea of freedom of speech, freedom of self-determination,

04:02a union of free democracies.

04:04I mean, Callan Georgescu finds itself at the top of a list.

04:07You've got Georgescu, you've got FISO, you've got Orbán, all these people.

04:12You've got Robert FISO being called an idiot by Ursula von der Leyen.

04:15You've got Hungary being threatened with the withdrawal of EU funding.

04:19You've got Marine Le Pen charged with a criminal defence, a very marginal thing.

04:25Obviously a political move to remove her from the race.

04:28And it just seems that this isn't about political ideology.

04:32Several of these people, FISO was on the left,

04:36Evgenia Gutsu, who's the head of the autonomous region of Gagauzia in Moldova,

04:41not in the EU, but trying to get into the EU.

04:43And then you've got Orbán, Georgescu and Mr. Simeon on the right.

04:48Now, interestingly, it doesn't seem to be about ideology.

04:51The EU doesn't seem to mind whether you're left or right.

04:54It minds, though, if you're about representing the interests

04:57and the sovereign interests of your people.

05:00And we can have a listen to that.

05:03The fact that they're all anti-war in Ukraine as well,

05:06which seems to be the only factor that unites all of these enemies of democracy

05:12is that they want the war to end.

05:15The war in Ukraine needs to stop urgently.

05:18We don't need this issue in Europe.

05:20We don't need a war on the border.

05:22We don't need a war in Europe.

05:23There are ways of negotiation, ways towards peace,

05:26that we need to implement quickly.

05:29Today, we are being punished for having a different opinion,

05:32for not speaking out and for not considering the Russian Federation an aggressor.

05:38I am most inclined to veto European financial aid to Ukraine

05:42because such a decision requires unanimity in the European Council.

05:46President Zelensky thinks that everyone should be his servants.

05:50In my case, the scythe hit the stone.

05:53Robert Fico is the prime minister of Slovakia and not a Ukrainian servant.

05:57I went to the wall.

06:00If this deal had not been reached,

06:03then 26 EU member states would have sent the money to Ukraine,

06:07which I could not prevent,

06:09and would have taken away funds earmarked for Hungary

06:13and sent that to Ukraine as well.

06:16The Westerners think that time is on their side, on our side.

06:20But the opposite is true.

06:22Time is on the Russian side.

06:24Sending French troops to Ukraine is madness.

06:28France must have diplomacy guided by its own national interests.

06:32This seems to be developing,

06:33and it's almost as if the EU's sort of aggressive suppression

06:37of sovereign feeling is fueling, if you like, an upsurge in it.

06:43You know, in Hungary as well,

06:46we've had very senior people, MEPs like Andres Laszlo,

06:50coming out and basically saying that the EU has this a la carte approach to democracy.

06:54If they get the right result, there's no interference.

06:57But if the wrong person comes in and tops the poll, that's a big problem.

07:02The EU mainstream refuses to respect democratic norms

07:06and the will of the majority.

07:08Extremely appalling.

07:09When $10 million was illegally channeled to the Hungarian left

07:13for their 2022 election campaign,

07:16elites in Brussels stayed silent.

07:19When the U.S. Embassy in Budapest started distributing funding to left-wing media,

07:24elites in Brussels stayed silent.

07:27When the Hungarian parliament adopted a sovereignty protection law

07:31to prevent such further interference,

07:34the European Commission sued Hungary.

07:36Well, it's increasingly obvious, and it's almost embarrassing,

07:39this idea that, you know, you can cancel an election

07:43with absolutely no evidence.

07:45Remember, there's been no evidence produced whatsoever for this

07:48really aggressive action by the Romanian authorities,

07:52removing the top man off the ticket.

07:54Same with Le Pen.

07:55It's getting a bit embarrassing, actually,

07:57that it's so transparently flawed,

07:59this logic and this moral ambiguity from the EU.

08:02Talking of scandal, Shea, really, I should be talking to you

08:06live link-up in Bucharest, but you're here in the studio.

08:10This was your story.

08:11Why aren't you in Romania reporting?

08:13Well, I suppose the reason I'm not in Romania

08:16is because I was basically arrested on the plane when I landed

08:20to go and do my job and to report specifically

08:24about the EU's aggressive repression of Callan Georgescu's candidacy,

08:30the lack of evidence that was there.

08:32It was quite remarkable, really.

08:34I was taken from the plane, arrested, detained, interrogated,

08:38and then I was instructed, essentially,

08:40that I was a threat to the security of the state.

08:43So the threat to the security of the state

08:44isn't the EU telling the Romanian authorities

08:47that they have to cancel an election

08:48because the wrong guy has won.

08:50You know, that has to be stopped.

08:51But I seem to have been deemed as the threat

08:54to security of the state for wanting to tell the truth,

08:57for us in RT here wanting to show

09:00what the Western media won't show, as we've mentioned earlier,

09:03this a la carte attitude to the morality around democracy.

09:07If the right guy wins, fine.

09:09If the wrong guy wins, suddenly there's a threat.

09:12Like, it's shocking, but is it surprising?

09:14Because it appears part of a wider pattern of,

09:17or a familiar narrative, shall we say,

09:19of anti-Russian sentiment, in fact, going beyond that,

09:23blaming Moscow for any ailments you may have,

09:26and in this case, an election.

09:27Yeah, I mean, as President Trump would say,

09:30Russia, Russia, Russia.

09:31I mean, from, you know, Hunter's laptop

09:33to allegations of information networks

09:36made against us here at this channel,

09:38absolutely no evidence proffered.

09:40This is the thing.

09:41So you can throw enough mud at the wall.

09:43You hope a little bit sticks.

09:45You want to blame Russia.

09:46If it rains at your kid's baptism,

09:48it's Russia's fault.

09:49If you slip on the way home from the bar,

09:51Russia's fault.

09:52Everything can be blamed on Russia.

09:54And the fact that they say, you know,

09:56we don't have any evidence,

09:57just like in Georgia, remember,

09:59we had the outgoing president saying,

10:01you know, the Russians interfered in an election.

10:03And she was asked,

10:04do you have any evidence of this?

10:05And the Georgian Dream Party asked,

10:07do you have evidence?

10:07Well, I don't have any evidence

10:08because they do it so well.

10:09Well, this is the case.

10:10Is it 40% of the Romanian public

10:12are now Russian agents

10:13because they have voted for a candidate

10:15that's EU skeptic?

10:17Yeah, and dare I say it,

10:19this aggressive repression of democracy

10:22and sovereignty within the EU

10:23is driving people around nationalist flags.

10:26It's driving people to the right

10:28and into extremes to say,

10:30look, we have enough of this

10:31because people realize

10:31that once you lose your sovereignty,

10:33it's very difficult to get it back.
