Călin Georgescu asked the judges of the Constitutional Court, on Sunday evening, on Realitatea TV, to decide by “Friday, February 21st at the latest” on organizing the second round of the presidential elections. Otherwise, the pro-Russian candidate asked his followers to come to Constitution Square on Saturday, “where our Constitution was practically stolen.”
“I absolutely officially ask the CCR to decide on the second round by Friday, the 21st, at the latest, because there is no evidence,” he said. Georgescu also “imperatively asked the law enforcement institutions in Romania that said they have evidence to either bring it to the Constitutional Court or come to the CCR and say, sir, I have thoroughly analyzed it, there is no evidence.”
“If it doesn’t happen, I am very determined and I declare very clearly that there will certainly be a commission at the highest level to analyze all these abuses that amount to high treason and an attack on national security” after he becomes president, he continued. “On Saturday, February 22, if these things don’t materialize, in Constitution Square, where our Constitution was practically stolen (…) I invite everyone at 11 a.m. just to sign my support for the candidacy for the presidency of Romania,” added Călin Georgescu.
White House on Elon Musk’s role in Trump administration: “He has no authority to make decisions”
Billionaire Elon Musk’s role in Donald Trump’s administration is as a White House employee and special adviser to the president and he is not an employee of the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE) and does not have the authority to make decisions, the White House announced on Monday in a document filed in court, Reuters and AFP report.
According to a document signed by Joshua Fisher, director of the White House Office of Administrative Law, Musk can only advise the president and communicate his directives. DOGE “is separate from the White House Office,” Fisher said.
“Mr. Musk is employed by the White House Office. He is not an employee of DOGE and is not the administrator of DOGE,” he added.
“Like other White House special advisers, Mr. Musk has no real or formal authority to make government decisions himself,” the document said.
DOGE began reevaluating federal agencies after Donald Trump began his second term last month and put Musk, the Tesla CEO, at the forefront of an effort to eliminate waste as part of a government overhaul that includes thousands of layoffs.
Joshua Fisher filed this document in a lawsuit filed on February 13 against Elon Musk, Donald Trump and DOGE by 14 US states, including New Mexico, which alleges that Musk is acting in a role that exceeds his official duties. Given that “his nomination has not been confirmed by the Senate,” his actions “are unconstitutional,” he states in a document filed with the court.
