Yes it's always the evil Russians and the stupid people are influenced by TikTok so we need to tell them what they should vote!

From e.g. Wikipedia:

>At the time of his exclusion, Georgescu was leading in public opinion polls

D'oh!

>That was a stupid thing for him to say, but he is a private citizen

How convenient he got fired, everything is good now, surely the Commission does not hold the same views as him! Are you really this naive?

And don't get me wrong, I support neither Georgescu (a typical conspiracy theorist nut) nor AfD (who only argue that the evil immigrants are at fault). But I support a free and democratic process and these are no longer in place. If you ban leading candidates and try to ban political parties that are in the lead (AfD and CDU constantly switch #1 positions in polls by 1-2 percentagep points) just because they are not on "your side" you are not better than any country that you mark as authoritian.
