Romania bans second far-right hopeful from presidential election rerun
Diana Șoșoacă’s exclusion follows expulsion of front-runner Călin Georgescu from race amid rising tension around poll

One thing to add is that she is basically right of the far-right. Before the latest EU election were German AfD kicked out of ID (now PfE), for being too extreme. Hence, after the election did AfD gather other parties that were too crazy for ID/PfE and created ESN. Șoșoacă and her SOS Romania originally wished to join ESN, but wasn't allowed to join due to objections from other parties. Basically, you have centre right in EPP, right wing in ECR, far-right in PfE, far-far-right in ESN, and one step further is Șoșoacă.

How do you go even farther right than far right‽ The far-rights wet dreams are already.... despicable

I support drastic actions to prevent fascism but if the underlying reasons why the centrist party is so unpopular and why an extremist party is so attractive (usually economic oppression brought on by our wonderful late stage capitalism) then another party will quickly take their place.
A government needs to earn the loyalty and approval of its populace and lately there has been too much of a global lean into corporatocracy.

You're missing the reality, which is that it is easy to win the loyalty of nazis since all they require to inspire it is cruelty while everyone else has to earn it based on merits of their governance which are constantly obstructed by shitheel fascists

Good for Romania.

Too bad for democracy
-
yes. nothing better for democracy than putting on the ballot "dissolve democracy?"
-
I think it's necessary but it's a terrible sign for democracy that it is necessary. The popularity of such an obviously foreign backed party is a clear sign that the dominant parties are fueling deep internal dissent.
-
How much democracy will there be with a fascist government? Lol what a cope
-
Yeah, I know nothing about Romanian politics, but:
It noted that the country’s constitutional court had already banned her from standing last November for making declarations “contrary to democratic values”.
Seems like it could be used against anyone, for any reason, in the future. Sure, I think I agree with today's results, but tomorrow?
