00:00All right, Alexander, let's talk about the first round in the Romanian elections, the do-over, the do-over elections because of the Russian meddling in TikTok, which was completely debunked by Romanian media.
00:16They debunked that entire thing, but the European Union still runs with – and the mainstream media and the collective voice still runs with this fake narrative of Russia meddling in TikTok and leading to Yorgescu being barred from running into these do-over elections.
00:35And the winner of the first round with a little over 40% was George Simeon, who campaigned with Yorgescu.
00:45So Yorgescu was with him, even when he went to vote, Yorgescu was with him.
00:49And he promised that Yorgescu would actually get a prominent seat if he were to be elected as the leader of Romania.
00:58So the European Union and NATO, they're not going to be happy with this first round result.
01:05We're going to have to wait and see what happens in the second round and if it is indeed Simeon who becomes the leader of Romania.
01:15What happens next?
01:17What are your thoughts on what's going on?
01:19Let's actually just put aside all the important things about, you know, will there be a second round again and all of that?
01:29Because at the moment we can't be sure.
01:33But based on the results of the first round, logically, Simeon is going to be the next president of Romania.
01:41I mean, it is impossible to see how the result could be otherwise now.
01:47I mean, it would require electoral manipulation on an absolutely hermeric scale and a very visible scale as well to prevent him winning the second round if the second round was to be held.
02:03I mean, he's far ahead of all of the other candidates.
02:08I believe the one candidate, a Mr. Pontach, who is apparently centre-left supposedly, but nonetheless has come out as a friend of Donald Trump's and all of that.
02:20Most of his supporters will probably go to Simeon.
02:23Simeon should win.
02:25I mean, it's impossible to see how he cannot.
02:28Will they let it happen?
02:31Because that's the big question there.
02:36We've had the elections which took place last year.
02:43As we know, Giorgescu came unexpectedly first.
02:48All of the opinion polls suggested that he would win by a landslide in the second round.
02:53He wasn't allowed to stand.
02:55As you rightly say, the whole story about Russian interference has been completely debunked and discredited.
03:01It's not really even argued anymore.
03:06I mean, there's no real attempt to pretend that it really was a Russian thing that managed to propel him to be number one in the first round.
03:18By the way, even if it was, even if there was a TikTok campaign and even if Moscow was behind it, I'm not sure why that in itself would discredit the result of the first round or prevent the holding of the second round.
03:33But anyway, let's not dwell on that.
03:35The point is, it didn't happen.
03:36So, nonetheless, you can't let Giorgescu stand.
03:41You're going to have investigations.
03:43You've got to bring charges against him.
03:45You've got to arrest him in the most public way.
03:49You put him through the courts.
03:50You won't.
03:51The Electoral Commission openly defies, apparently, a court decision which says that he should be allowed to stand.
04:00But, you know, we don't worry about that.
04:03I can't quite believe that they're going to do that all over again.
04:08I mean, you never know.
04:10You never know with these people.
04:12But it still seems very difficult to believe that they will do it.
04:19I mean, they really are going to do it.
04:20Then, as I said, I mean, Romania is lost.
04:24And I would have thought that we would be looking at not just a political crisis in Romania, but, you know, a real drift towards Romania becoming some kind of semi-dictatorship.
04:36Because arguably it already is one, but, I mean, it would be taking that whole big step further, not just a semi-dictatorship, but perhaps a kind of controlled state in which we don't really have elections anymore because people are appointed to high office and that kind of thing.
04:56But, you know, maybe they will do that.
04:58I mean, I'm not saying.
04:59But more likely than my guess is they will go ahead and allow this second round to happen and Simeon will indeed be elected and he will become president.
05:10Then, I think, the thing really begins to become very interesting because Simeon, as I understand it, though he is positioning himself as being on the right, as being a friend of Giorgescu, as being allied to Giorgescu, as the person who champions Giorgescu's cause,
05:36has apparently has apparently a much longer backstory within Romanian politics.
05:45So will he really follow through as president of Romania and carry through Giorgescu's programme?
05:55And that, it seems to me, is the big question.
05:58So he might appoint Giorgescu to a leading position.
06:03He might, there's even suggestions that he might appoint Giorgescu prime minister.
06:08But will that really happen?
06:12And if it does happen, well, one can already see what will happen.
06:18All of the forces that we see unleashed in Hungary, in Slovakia, in Yugoslavia, in Serbia, in all sorts of other places will also be unleashed as well.
06:33There'll be attempts to push Simeon back towards loyalty to the EU centre.
06:42There'll be attempts to break or fracture his alliance with Giorgescu.
06:47And I have to say, looking at Simeon, he doesn't seem to me to be the kind of person who is ultimately going to go into the last trench with Giorgescu.
06:58If it really looks as if the pressure is very strong.
07:01But anyway, that's my guess about where this process is going.
07:08I think the EU centre is not going to be pleased by this result.
07:12I think the NATO bureaucracy are not going to be pleased with this result.
07:17But I think, nonetheless, they still got cards to play.
07:20And I think they will play them.
07:22And I think, as I said, they've got probably contacts with Simeon already.
07:26Put all of that aside, if you're talking about the election showing us what the Romanian people themselves believe,
07:38what direction they want their country to follow, we can see what it is.
07:45A conservative, Christian, orthodox, patriotic, sovereigntist, anti-war position.
07:56That is the one that the Romanian people, or at least a plurality of them, wants to see Romania follow.
08:06And that is completely the opposite of what the EU centre and the globalists who run it want.
08:13Yeah, completely the opposite.
08:14They're going to do everything in their power to derail Simeon.
08:20If he does win, which, as you said, I can't imagine if they actually go through with it, that he's not going to win.
08:28But, I mean, you know, the EU is crazy enough.
08:32The globalists are crazy enough that they just might try to cancel the second round.
08:36You never know.
08:37I mean, I don't put it past them.
08:38They're that crazy.
08:39And they're that much in a panic because Romania is so important for them.
08:44It's extremely important for NATO.
08:47It's extremely important for Project Ukraine and what they want to do with regards to Project Ukraine and Russia in the next three to five years.
08:57They're going to do everything in their power to either derail Simeon to try and cancel the second round.
09:05I imagine they're talking about it.
09:07If they can't do that, if they can't do that, they're going to try to derail Simeon.
09:10And my guess is, as you said, I bet you if they can't accomplish cancellation of the second round, if they can't accomplish some sort of scandal to get to Simeon or to get to Georgesco, to get to both of them.
09:25Let's say Georgesco is in his administration.
09:27If they can't bring them down via scandal, which they love to do, they love to do these things, then they're going to try the hungry model, which would be to try and remove Simeon with some propped up puppet politician.
09:44Or they're going to try, Alexander, to maybe do the Maloney model.
09:49What do you think about that?
09:50Oh, absolutely.
09:51Where you have a Maloney type, but you have tools.
09:54As Ursula said, we have tools when she threatened Italy and Maloney.
09:58And they brought Maloney on side, at least with regards to NATO.
10:02With regards to NATO, they got Maloney on side.
10:06Maybe with the EU, she rebels a little here and there, but they made her loyal to the globalist cause.
10:12With a little bit of rebellion, which they seem to accept.
10:17And I have to say, I think that is the sort of thing that Simeon himself is likely to do.
10:22As I said, he doesn't seem to me to be, he seems to me more like this, more Maloney than an Orban.
10:29Or more, so I think that he personally, his background suggests to me that he's more likely to become a Maloney than he is to stick with Jorgescu and become a kind of Romanian Orban.
10:46So that's probably, I think, the direction that this is going.
10:52I can't be absolutely sure.
10:54And we do now see, as I said, what the Romanian people themselves think.
10:59By the way, just to mention, since we've brought up Orban, which is, of course, relations between Romania and Hungary are always, always have issues between them.
11:08These are not two structurally friendly countries.
11:13So regardless of how things evolve, it may not be easy to create a partnership between Romania and Hungary.
11:22If that were to happen, it would be an astonishing thing and a wonderful thing.
11:27But, you know, there's still a lot of obstacles in the way of that.
11:30Okay, final question.
11:31What happens if Simeon wins and he does end up being a type of Orban, a FITSO?
11:37Yeah, a FITSO.
11:38He ends up being a FITSO type where he does push back significantly against the globalists and the EU center and NATO, significantly pushes back and says no to war, no to Romania's involvement in Project Ukraine.
11:55We're going to be patriotic.
11:59We're going to be a sovereign nation.
12:02All of these things that the EU absolutely despises.
12:04What if he does say, okay, I'm going to implement this policy?
12:07I'm going to take Georgescu's platform that he was running on and I'm going to implement it.
12:12Because at the end of the day, that is what the Romanian people want.
12:17That's what they want.
12:17They wanted Georgescu and his platform.
12:20Yeah.
12:20And they got robbed of it.
12:21And so Simeon came in Georgescu's place and he says, okay, I'll run.
12:28Well, they will then do exactly what they've done in Poland, Hungary, and in Slovakia.
12:38A massive program of destabilization.
12:41We'll be seeing the protests.
12:42We'll be reading the articles of the Guardian and the Spiegel from all the Romanian liberal protest leaders talking about how they're fighting against the dark spread of whatever it is in Romania itself, the forces of darkness that they're going to be resisting.
13:00We're going to have all of that.
13:03We're going to have open interference by the EU centre in Romanian politics.
13:08Of course, there is already interference by the EU centre in Romanian politics.
13:12But even more so, we're going to see blocking of funds to Romania, which is, of course, Romania is still a relatively poor country.
13:22It's economically advanced quite a lot over the last decades, but it's still a relatively poor country by European standards.
13:33So cutting off EU structural funds.
13:36But they have the advantage of not being in the euro.
13:39Exactly.
13:40Exactly.
13:41Exactly.
13:42As Hungary has, the Slovakia doesn't, by the way.
13:49So that plays to their advantage.
13:51Absolutely.
13:52The ECB can't apply pressure in the way that they can apply pressure if you are on the euro.
13:59Correct.
14:00Correct.
14:01So they do have some natural resources.
14:05And they're quite a big country.
14:08And it's an educated and skilled population.
14:14If they held together, they could see it through.
14:18But the pressures on them will be enormous.
14:21I think a lot of people, by the way, I mean, I should say this.
14:24I mean, Romanians are deeply patriotic people, even by the standards of Central and Eastern Europe.
14:32They're very assertive about their patriotism and deeply proud of their country.
14:39So they will be a difficult people to push around if they do get a government of their choice.
14:46Just saying.
14:46All right.
14:49We're going to wait for the second round.
14:51Absolutely.
14:51That's what we have to do then.
14:52See whether it happens.
14:54See whether it happens.
14:55Wait for the second round.
14:56Okay.
