Romanian court rejects far-right candidate’s election appeal—
Romania’s constitutional court on Thursday validated the results of the presidential run-off vote at the weekend, won by pro-European Nicusor Dan, after rejecting an appeal by his defeated far-right rival.
Nationalist George Simion, who lost to Bucharest’s centrist Mayor Dan, had appealed to the constitutional court to cancel the vote, alleging foreign interference, including by France.
The court said it “unanimously rejected the request to annul the elections, deeming it unfounded”.
