The latest human rights report from the U.S. State Department is turning heads—and not in a polite way.
Under President Donald Trump’s tough, no-nonsense foreign policy lens, the annual review reads less like a bureaucratic exercise and more like a direct call-out of Europe’s creeping authoritarianism. And right now, Romania’s globalist regime is sitting squarely in the hot seat.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on December 6, 2024, Romania’s Constitutional Court made a stunning decision, annulling the results after insurgent populist candidate Călin Georgescu secured a first-round victory in what had been a fair contest for the presidency.
Officially, the court, well-known for its corruption, cited “multiple irregularities and violations of electoral law.” The U.S. State Department isn’t buying it, however. In unusually pointed language, the report called it what it was: political interference, a crackdown on voices the establishment doesn’t like, and a full-scale attack on the legitimacy of the vote.
The court claimed Russian disinformation on social media tainted the election. Independent analysts, however, see it differently. This “foreign meddling” story looks a lot like a cover for a domestic crackdown orchestrated by Romanian globalist elites who didn’t like the results. In other words, the Kremlin, as we’ve seen numerous times in the past, was a convenient scapegoat for a homegrown power grab.
And Romania isn’t alone. Trump’s State Department report flags a worrying trend across Europe. Germany, France, and the U.K. all get called out for restricting free speech and using increasingly authoritarian methods..
France is battling restrictions on expression alongside a rise in antisemitism, while Britain’s so-called Online Safety Act—sold as child protection—has become a censorship weapon, according to critics. The pattern is clear: the erosion of liberty isn’t happening in far-off dictatorships; it’s unfolding right in the heart of the so-called free West.
Romania’s inclusion in the report is particularly damning. Here’s a NATO front-line nation, supposedly a post-communist democratic success story, now demonstrating that election results can be erased by judicial fiat.
And the European Union’s reaction? Tepid at best—its usual “monitoring” and “expressing concern” routine, signaling to every globalist establishment creature in Bucharest that you can get away with gutting democracy.
Scrapping the election results wasn’t a minor bureaucratic hiccup. It was a direct assault on representative democracy. Tossing out results, of course, sends a dangerous message: your vote only counts if the globalist elite overlords approve. This is how public trust erodes and political fights turn into endless courtroom battles, or much worse.
Perhaps even more shocking is the silence from supposedly ‘democratic’ European institutions. In any functioning democracy, such an extraordinary move would trigger outrage: parliamentary investigations, constitutional scrutiny, international condemnation.
Instead, globalist elites in Romania and across Europe have shrugged their shoulders. The EU, with its lofty promises to uphold democratic norms, acted as if nothing had happened. This passivity is the real threat—it tells corrupt actors, “Go ahead, subvert elections; you’ll face no consequences.”
Trump’s State Department isn’t just pointing fingers; it’s drawing lines. Washington is making it crystal clear: censorship, election meddling, and silencing political rivals won’t fly.
Romania’s warning is stark: when a corrupt globalist establishment of any country runs the show, even a supposed democracy can lose its way fast—and the rest of Europe has shown it will barely lift a finger to stop it.
