Romanian prosecutors leak evidence linking far-right politician Georgescu to coup d'etat plot

Romanian prosecutors leaked evidence suggesting Calin Georgescu was involved in a coup d'etat plot with ex-French Foreign Legion fighters, planning to destabilize peaceful protests.
Georgescu is under judicial control, accused of incitement against the constitutional order, spreading false information, and association with extremist groups.
US Vice President JD Vance criticized the annulment of the Romanian presidential election, citing it as an example of ignoring voter concerns and diminishing democracy.
Evidence shows that a paramilitary group, led by Horațiu Potra, planned violent actions to influence protests after the election's cancellation, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations against Georgescu and his associates.
