About this listen
In March 2025, Romania’s Constitutional Court barred far-right presidential candidate Călin Georgescu from running in a rerun election—citing Russian interference and violations of electoral law. Supporters hailed it as a decisive act of “militant democracy,” a doctrine allowing democracies to restrict anti-democratic actors. Critics warned it set a dangerous precedent, undermining voter choice without a public trial. This episode examines the allegations of foreign influence, the legal and philosophical roots of militant democracy, and the fierce debate over whether Romania’s move defends democracy—or erodes it from within.
