Romania's electoral authority does not allow far-right politician Calin Georgescu to run in the country's upcoming presidential election.
Georgescu won the first round in Romania's annulled presidential election in November. He is suspected, among other things, of having incited actions that threaten the constitutional order in the country.
The election result was annulled due to suspicions that a Russian influence campaign helped Georgescu to an unexpected victory.
The news that he is not allowed to run in the upcoming election has led to anger among his supporters.
The police report that people have broken through barriers to gain access to the electoral authority's area, but add that the situation is currently under control.
