The staunch NATO critic has again been barred from running for the country's top office

Romanian presidential hopeful Calin Georgescu has said he will appeal against the decision by the country's Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) to bar him from taking part in a new election in May, Reuters has claimed citing one of his advisers.

The BEC dismissed Georgescu's candidacy on Sunday, citing more than 1,000 challenges filed against him. Georgescu was the clear favorite for the election rerun, polling between 40% and 45% in most recent surveys.

Georgescu condemned the decision, stating the EU has turned into a "dictatorship," while branding his own country a "tyranny." On Monday, the politician vowed to appeal the ruling with the country's Constitutional Court.

"We go together all the way for the same values: peace, democracy, freedom," he said in a video address posted on social media. The politician has also condemned the violence that erupted between his supporters and police outside the BEC building in Budapest on Sunday, urging his backers to abstain from such behavior.

According to Romanian law, the decision of the BEC must be appealed within a 24-hour period, with the top judiciary body obliged to deliver the final verdict on the matter within 48 hours.
