      I think it’s necessary but it’s a terrible sign for democracy that it is necessary. The popularity of such an obviously foreign backed party is a clear sign that the dominant parties are fueling deep internal dissent.

      Yeah, I know nothing about Romanian politics, but:

      It noted that the country’s constitutional court had already banned her from standing last November for making declarations “contrary to democratic values”.

      Seems like it could be used against anyone, for any reason, in the future. Sure, I think I agree with today’s results, but tomorrow?
