Looks like the surprise loser in the Romanian election, aka hard-right populist George Simion, will contest the election result after all.

According to Sky News:

Mr Simion now claims to have hard evidence of foreign interference in the vote.

He said in a statement: "We now have irrefutable evidence of meddling by France, Moldova, and other actors, in an orchestrated effort to manipulate institutions, direct media narratives, and ultimately impose a result that does not reflect the sovereign will of the Romanian people."

He's alleging the French government tried to limit the amount of his campaign material that appeared on social media, echoing an accusation made by Pavel Durov, the Russian founder of the messaging app Telegram.

Having annulled one election that seemed to favour a 'hard-right populist' due to alleged Russian interference, it's going to be interesting to see what the Romanian Constitutional Court does with this one now that there may have been interference in this second election - albeit not by Russia as alleged first time around, so perhaps that doesn't count.
