Georgescu was not allowed to run in the May election because he refused to sign the form regarding his income. And when pressed further, said if he did sign the declaration it would be perjury.
Which isn't to say he might have been banned regardless...but show me any democratic country that allows candidates to run without filling out the necessary forms. This whole thing is just manufactured outrage.

As a Romanian, this is wrong. BEC (Central Electoral Bureau) used the December CCR (Constitutional Court of Romania) decision - the one that cancelled the presidential election - to justify banning Georgescu. Afterwards CCR upheld that Georgescu isn't allowed to run.

The institutions absolutely did the right thing.I am not Romanian and so perhaps misinformed. But what I've seen online (from Euronews and other outlets) is that the Central Election Committee refused to allow him on the ballot over refusal to sign income declarations and other document irregularities. He then appealed to Constitutional Court, which also wouldn't put him on the ballot. As I said, pretty much any country would not allow candidate on the ballot if they don't fill out the proper docs.
