voiding elections when the result is not good (Romania)

Downvoting for this claim. Stop spreading misinformation.

1) it wasn't the government voiding the election, it was the courts

2) it wasn't because they disagreed with the results, it was because an existing law was broken (undisclosed campaign financing)

Also because the candidate who won the first round and was almost guaranteed to win (not the nut job TikTok guy who came second) didn’t belong to any of the major parties. So the government wasn’t particularly excited about that…

2) why wasn't the person/party that broke the law penalized then? PNL was found to have paid for the TikTok ads for Georgescu. Did they get even a slap on the wrist?
