Romanian Georgescu Claims West Seeks WW3

Bucharest – Călin Georgescu, a Romanian ultranationalist and former presidential candidate, has accused the West of attempting to orchestrate a “third world war (WW3)” in a controversial interview with American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The remarks, which echo Russian propaganda regarding the European Union (EU) and NATO, have drawn significant attention as Georgescu prepares for a re-run of Romania’s presidential election later this year.

Georgescu’s comments were aired during Jones’ widely followed show, which has an audience of over 3.6 million on X (formerly Twitter). The Romanian politician alleged that the EU aims to “take control” of NATO before the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, claiming that Romania would play a pivotal role in escalating the ongoing war in Ukraine.

“When they control via [Secretary-General Mark] Rutte — the chief of NATO — they try to impose their rules and to push as much as possible for the Third World War in the region, via in particular Romania,” Georgescu said during the interview. He further suggested that Romania was the “real door” to a larger war in Ukraine, adding, “Without Romania, they cannot control this war.”

Controversial Election and Russian Influence Allegations

Georgescu’s rise to prominence was marked by his surprising victory in the first round of Romania’s presidential election on November 24, 2024. The results were annulled amid widespread concerns of Russian interference, including allegations of a TikTok-based campaign that reportedly amplified his support. Despite these controversies, Georgescu remains a formidable contender, leading in polls ahead of the election re-run scheduled for May 4, with a run-off set for May 18.

In his interview with Jones, Georgescu denied any connection to Moscow, stating, “Of course, I have nothing to do with Russia. I don’t know anybody, just a few people, like scientists, but I have nothing to do with politicians in Russia.” However, his past praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his threats to terminate Romanian aid to Ukraine have fueled speculation about his geopolitical alignment.

Nationalist Rhetoric and “Globalist” Accusations

Georgescu’s nationalist platform includes strong anti-Western rhetoric. During the interview, he accused the EU and NATO of being tools of a “globalist elite” intent on fostering conflict in Europe. He described the EU as the “political arm” and NATO as the “military arm” of these so-called globalists, whom he also associated with financial oligarchs and the World Economic Forum.

The politician’s controversial statements have further stoked fears that a potential victory in May could disrupt Romania’s pro-EU and pro-NATO stance, aligning the country more closely with Kremlin interests. Such a shift would mark a significant departure for Romania, a long-standing member of both Western institutions.

Election Uncertainty Amid Allegations

As Romania prepares for the election re-run, Georgescu’s candidacy faces potential legal challenges. The Constitutional Court may disqualify him over allegations of undeclared funding, which have raised questions about the transparency of his campaign finances. Despite these hurdles, his popularity persists, fueled by public discontent with Romania’s traditional governing parties. Many voters view these parties as corrupt and blame them for orchestrating the annulment of the initial election results.

Broader Implications for Europe

The stakes in Romania’s upcoming election are high, not just for the country but for Europe as a whole. A Georgescu victory could embolden nationalist and populist movements across the continent, while his rhetoric and policies may further complicate efforts to maintain a unified Western front against Russian aggression in Ukraine. With tensions in the region already heightened, the outcome of the May election could have far-reaching consequences for European security and stability.
