Romania has outdone itself once again. In a spectacular display of democracy in quotation marks, the Constitutional Court has annulled the first round of presidential elections. Nine million voters? Forget them. Their votes apparently count only if they align with the powers that be. Democracy, you see, is not about expressing the will of the people. No, it’s about expressing the will of the system—on repeat, if necessary, until everyone gets it “right.”
This is where we find ourselves: a nation stuck in a surreal blend of George Orwell’s 1984 and Caragiale’s sharpest satire. If it weren’t so tragic, it would almost be funny.
Picture the scene: millions of Romanians dutifully head to the polls, as they’ve done for decades, trusting that their votes matter. Then, days later, the Constitutional Court swoops in and declares the election invalid. Why? Oh, just a casual allegation of “irregularities.” Nothing concrete, mind you—just enough to declare a mulligan and send everyone back to the ballot box.
This isn’t democracy; it’s a parody of democracy. A performance where the audience is told to clap louder, or else the show gets rewritten. It’s as if the Court decided to channel Stalin’s greatest hits: “It’s not the people who vote that count. It’s the people who count the votes.” Except now, it’s not just counting—it’s erasing and resetting.
