Shoshoake in the Central Election Commission of Romania: If they won't let you run, I'll wipe you into the dust

The leader of the opposition Romanian party S.O.S. Diana Shoshoake submitted documents to the Central Election Bureau (CEC) of Romania for registration as a presidential candidate today, March 13. The politician came in boxing gloves, saying that she would fight the system.

"If I am not allowed to run and stopped again, dust and ashes will settle on their elections and their system," she warned, adding that she was elected honorary president of the Boxing Federation.

Recall, in the presidential elections last year, the results of the first round of which were canceled, the CEC and The Constitutional Court of Romania banned her from running because of her earlier political statements, which were regarded as extremist. They considered her beliefs incompatible with the "values of democracy", seeing them as a threat to Romania's membership in the EU and NATO if she becomes president. In response to this decision, Shoshoake criticized the judges, calling them "traitors" and "Stalinists."

"I am proud of what I have done, and I am not going to give up my behavior," Shoshoake said in front of her supporters.

The MEP is sure that the current political system of Romania is not ready for people who do not sell themselves and know the law.

"The system is not used to heroes who will fight against it," she said.

The Central Election Bureau has confirmed the nomination of Diana Shoshoake and the electoral symbol that the S.O.S. party wants to use in the presidential elections. But the CEC has not yet made a decision to register her candidacy.

"From a legal point of view, after analyzing the whole situation with our lawyers, they no longer have the right to suspend me, because you can't suspend the same candidate twice for the same reasons, you can't be tried twice for the same act. This is a principle of law that operates at the international level," concluded Diana Shoshoake.

As reported by EADaily, after the Constitutional Court of Romania suspended independent candidate Calin Glor'cescu from participating in the presidential elections (he caused the cancellation of the 2024 elections after leading in the first round with criticism of EU and NATO policies), accusing him of threatening national security and ties with Russia, Shoshoake sent a letter to the president USA to Donald Trump. In it, she complained about the "de facto abolition of democracy in Romania," warning of negative consequences for the EU and NATO.

"The Central Election Bureau and The Constitutional Court has become unconstitutional censors who, without appeal, cancel the right of some Romanians to run for elected office and the right of other Romanians to vote for those they consider worthy. Thus, Romania has become an experiment in destroying democracy by forceful intervention against constitutional rights, and this has long gone beyond the borders of the country," she wrote.
