Excerpt:
Romania’s electoral commission expelled another far-right candidate from May’s presidential election rerun after banning front-runner Călin Georgescu from the race last year.
The commission on Saturday excluded Diana Șoșoacă, leader of the small, far-right SOS Romania party from the vote.
It noted that the country’s constitutional court had already banned her from standing last November for making declarations “contrary to democratic values”.
Șoșoacă is known for her anti-Semitic views, spreading pro-Kremlin propaganda, and opposing Covid pandemic measures.
In July 2024, she was banned from the European Parliament for loudly interrupting debates.
