Calin Georgescu filed on Friday his independent candidacy for president of Romania at the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC), where he came accompanied by his wife, as well as by Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) leader George Simion and Young People’s Party (POT) Chair Anamaria Gavrila. Hundreds of supporters with flags, vuvuzelas and placards with his picture were also present, chanting his name and slogans such as „Freedom!”, „We won’t budge!”, „Round 2!”, „Peace, not war!”

Georgescu was applauded and cheered by his supporters.

„Today I submitted my candidacy file. On December 6, 2024 democracy was killed, but today the Romanian people resurrected it. I submitted my candidacy file on March 7, 2025 with 324,000 signatures, out of respect for the Romanian people who understood that they must defend their democracy,” Georgescu declared.
