No Will Skelton but new Wallabies star Joseph-Aukuso Sua’ali’i could be passed fit for Ireland clashRomania is going to the polls Sunday 28th November to elect a President. If noone wins outright in the first round, it goes to a second Round (likely) on December 8th. The Romanian political system is similar to France. The pro-Russian candidate Simion is second place in Round 1 but is losing 2-1 in polls for the second round against the Social Democrat candidate Ciocalu. There have been allegations of AUR meetings with Russian agents. Simion says his role models are Trump, Meloni and Jarosław Kaczyński. The top two candidates in the poll are Ciocalu (Social Democrats) and the Far Right AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians) led by Giorgi Simion. The AUR wants to end military aid to Ukraine and calls for return of forner Romanian territory ceded to the USSR in 1940, which is now in Ukraine. The parliamentary elections looks better for the ruling parties. They are an alliance of the Social Democrats (around 30%) and National Liberal party (around 13%). They are running as an alliance in this election. AUR are around 22%.

The emergence of Georgescu as Ciolacu's opponent, rather than Simion, seems to be a complete shock. Just reading this now. Romania election stunner: Unexpected hard-right candidate surges in presidential vote Ultranationalist Călin Georgescu comes from nowhere to lead center-left PM Marcel Ciolacu and liberal Elena Lasconi in first round. www.politico.eu Not much is known about Georgescu's political opinions. He is a technocrat, a former UN agronomist. His Wikipedia bio says he has been accused of representing Russian interests, and he seems to be an admirer of Romania's wartime Fascist regime, even though it invaded the Soviet Union as part of the Nazi invasion. Călin Georgescu - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org The presidential final between Ciolacu and Lasconi. Will Georgescu change the results? According to the two exit polls presented after the polls closed, Marcel Ciolacu obtained 25% of the votes, Elena Lasconi 18%,. bucharestdailynews.com Exit polls have Romania's PM leading presidential vote – DW – 11/24/2024 Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, of the Social Democratic Party is leading centre-right opposition leader Elena Lasconi in the first round of the presidential election according to exit polls. www.dw.com Which is right? The pro-EU, pro-NATO vote will presumably rally around Ciocalu in Round 3. Mircea Geoana the Independent that got 5.4% of the vote was Deputy NATO Secretary General until September so I dont see him endorsing a populist anti NATO candidate like Georgescu.

OTOH, there is a political context that does not favour incumbents or establishments. A leakage of votes to Georgescu is not impossible. His sheer novelty might make him attractive to disaffected voters. With 96% of votes counted, ultranationalist Calin Georgescu was on 22%, and Marcel Ciolacu, the prime minister, had 20%, according to the Central Electoral Bureau. The strong showing of Georgescu, who has no party of his own, and campaigned largely on the social media platform TikTok, came as the biggest surprise of the election. Click to expand...

Georgescu’s Alliance for the Union of Romanians is the most successful Romanian right-wing party since the establishment of the current state in Romania. That an autocratic party is in the ascendency in Romania is not a welcome development. A lovely people, this nation have surely suffered enough. The growth of the AUR is reflective of the growth in support for politicians expressing national chauvinism and autocratic leanings. From Trump in the White House (twice) to Erdagon in Turkey, to Modi in India, to Morawiecki in Poland, Wilders in Netherlands, Kristersson in Sweden, Fico in Slovakia, Orban in Hungary, Orpo in Finland, and lots more. This trend is in response to the failure of the soft left to protect the interests of ordinary working in the aftermath of the collapse of world capitalism in the Credit Crucnh / European Liquidity Crisis of 2008 onwards. Dame_Enda said: The AUR wants to end military aid to Ukraine and calls for return of former Romanian territory ceded to the USSR in 1940, which is now in Ukraine. Click to expand... It is interesting that you bring in Ukraine into this. Will Georgescu become another Orban? A whipping boy for Western liberals. And if so, why exactly? We are told by the mainstream press that Georgescu is that great bogeyman in the shadows of Western society, the "far right". But other leaders get a pass if they are on the correct page in US Foreign Policy. Georgescu's surge in electoral support is alarming. Not because he is "pro-Russian", and therefore there will be further cracks in the Atlanticist world. Rather because of the risk of concentrating power in ever smaller groups of people. But this trend is something that is enabled by the political and economic structures anyway. Among that worrying autocratic trend is something often overlooked, that of moves in Israel 2023 Israeli judicial reform - Wikipedia to end the separation of powers , a hallmark of liberal democracy. In terms of domestic policy, the current hardline government in Israel makes Victor Orban's government in Hungary look liberal. I thought the creation of the EU was to put to bed any revanchist feelings members of the European family might have. If large sections of the Romanian public want to start annexing territory in an adjacent country the EU has clearly failed. There is lots to be concerned about Callin Georgescu. His open admiration on Tik-Tok for Ion Antonescu (pm of fascist Romania) and Corneliu Codreanu (founder of the fascist paramilitary the Iron Guard, comparable with the SS) is worrying. Yikes ! But the US strangely seems to be encouraging this Romanian sentimentality. Cantacuzino Airbase - biggest Nato base in Europe Prince Constantin Cantacuzino Airbase (outside Kogalniceanu city) is finalising longterm plans to become the biggest Nato base in Europe, bigger even than Ramstein in Germany. Located only 20km from the Black Sea coast, the base is 300km from the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, and 400km from the Russian warm-water naval port city of Sevastopol in Crimea. The imperialist and Atlanticist air-base of Cantacuzino is located near the city of Constanța in the east of the country. Why have the new masters in Europe not worked to de-escalate ethnic tension across eastern Europe. We don’t see the promotion of stable and trusting relations. Under the guise of democracy the US is actively celebrating the Nazis’ military alliance, the Axis of Steel. A military alliance that Americans lost their lives and many were badly maimed fighting against. The NATO airbase at Cantacuzino is the main base of the US imperialist and aggressively militaristic structure called Area Support Group Black Sea (ASG-BS). This US "European Command initiative" is overseen by a wider American imperialist body called U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR). Cantacuzino airbase is named after Prince Constantin Cantacuzino (1905 – 1958), a leading figure in fascist Romania. In the fascist state presided over by Hitler's best buddy, Ion Antonescu, Cantacuzino was chief pilot of the Romanian national air transport company LARES. In his active duty as a fighter pilot Cantacuzino killed countless US airmen in USAAF efforts to liberate Europe from the Nazis in 1944. The US government mocks its soldiers. Past and present. All 4,500 American troops currently. The US government celebrates someone who has the blood of Americans on their hands. The airbase was renamed from Kogalniceanu (a poet and activist from 19th century Romanian efforts to secure statehood). Cantacuzino was awarded the Iron Cross, 1st Class, by Nazi Germany. Cantacuzino was an enthusiastic supporter of his country's participation in Operation Barbarossa, seeking to greatly expand the territory of the Romanian Kingdom. Cantacuzino wanted to go beyond even the dream of "Greater Romania". Cantacuzino belonged to a tread of opinion that wrote about and gave speeches about annexing the territory of what is today the Ukrainian oblasts of Odesa, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv and much of Kirovohrad. Seemingly, these territorial claims rested on settlements as far east as the river Inhul by the Free Dacians. The Free Dacians were Dacian nobility who migrated eastward to the Sarmatian borderlands after the Roman emperor Trajan subdued the Dacian kingdom in AD 106. The Free Dacians hold a mythical place in Romanian folklore, kinda like they were cowboys, but of the Classical Era. Dame_Enda said: Georgescu wasn't even appearing in some polls so this is a shock. Simion was the Far Right figure that I thought had a chance in Round 1. Click to expand... He came 4th. The far-right candidates seem to have got ~37% of the vote. It may be better that Lasconi is from outside the established parties, so can legitimately present herself as a candidate for change.

Georgescu is actually an Independent, who campaigned solely on Tik-Tok. That may not help him for the 2nd round. The AUR candidate George Simioni came fourth. The far-right will now have to re-organise behind an unknown. Parliamentary elections come next Sunday. The party leading a government coalition, the Social Democrats, were leading with 30% in the last poll, with AUR on 21%. Lasconi's party the USL were on 15%, part of a centre-right opposition.

Marine enforcement squad intensifies patrol to curb juvenile fishing in KozhikodeCOLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a neck injury late in the first half of Saturday's game at No. 24 Missouri. Jackson appeared to injure his neck while trying to tackle Missouri running back Jamal Roberts. Medical personnel tended to Jackson for approximately 10 minutes before he was placed on a backboard and driven to a waiting ambulance. Jackson gave a thumbs-up sign as he was carted off the snow-covered field. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Jackson had movement in his arms and legs but was experiencing pain in his neck. He said Jackson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, and is considered a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft.

A judge on Monday granted a request by prosecutors to dismiss the election subversion case against Donald Trump because of a Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to the request by Special Counsel Jack Smith to dismiss the case against the president-elect “without prejudice,” meaning it could potentially be revived after Trump leaves the White House four years from now. “Dismissal without prejudice is appropriate here,” Chutkan said, adding in the ruling that “the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office.” Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and removing large quantities of top secret documents after leaving the White House, but the cases never came to trial. Smith also moved on Monday to drop his appeal of the dismissal of the documents case filed against the former president in Florida. That case was tossed out earlier this year by a Trump-appointed judge on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. The special counsel paused the election interference case and the documents case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. Smith cited the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president in his motions to have the cases dismissed. “The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. “But the circumstances have.” “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President,” Smith said. “As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were “empty and lawless, and should never have been brought.” “Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME,” he said. “Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before.” Trump was accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding — the session of Congress called to certify Biden’s win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president’s supporters. Trump was also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases — in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. However, Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump’s lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office.
