The soldier predicted Ukraine’s entire foothold in Kursk would be lost but that “from a military point of view, the Kursk direction has exhausted itself. There is no point in keeping it any more”.
The protests across Southeastern Europe remain in the spotlight as they try to change the deficit regimes into something better. In Romania, when Georgescu’s candidacy was once again rejected, his supporters began to break through the fences set up by the police, throwing various objects such as bottles and stones, as reported by David Leonard Bularca and Rebecca Popescu of the Romanian news platform Hotnews.
Watching live footage of the protest, I saw some of the police limping after being hit by stones. Similarly violent scenes unfolded in Greece, where the second anniversary of the Tempi train disaster sparked what the Greek newspaper Efimerida ton Syntakton described as the largest rally in the country’s history. Meanwhile in Serbia, students continue to protest, even resorting to camping out between the Serbian parliament and the presidency, according to Danas.
I don’t like the comparisons here between protesters. The ones we had in Romania, the Georgescu fans, were older and brought in via buses, organized mostly by the AUR party and likely joined by some soccer fan groups. These were anti-democratic protests, more in the spirit of the US 1/6 ones, but much smaller and less violent. The Georgescu fans were very upset that their “online collective” size wasn’t matched by the presence in real space.

There is a law, but it’s poorly worded, so it regularly fails (needs fixes). The constitutional court is not a criminal court.
Like the other far right ones, she wants to take a big dump on the constitution and then set it on fire. That’s incompatible with holding the presidential office and others (including military) where the oath requires to protect the constitution.

(1) Rezultatul alegerilor pentru funcţia de Preşedinte al României este validat de Curtea Constituţională.
The Constitutional Court validates (or invalidates) the election result.
(2) Candidatul a cărui alegere a fost validată depune în faţa Camerei Deputaţilor şi a Senatului, în şedinţă comună, următorul jurământ: “Jur să-mi dăruiesc toată puterea şi priceperea pentru propăşirea spirituală şi materială a poporului român, să respect Constituţia şi legile ţării, să apăr democraţia, drepturile şi libertăţile fundamentale ale cetăţenilor, suveranitatea, independenţa, unitatea şi integritatea teritorială a României. Aşa să-mi ajute Dumnezeu!”.
among others, the president swears to respect the Constitution
She was excluded last year too, nothing really changed. She’s as bad as Georgescu, from a somehow different angle, along with being openly antisemitic. I guess Europeans saw her in the EU Parliament.

Do you think the scientific theory of evolution is well supported by evidence and widely accepted within the scientific community, or that it is not well supported by evidence and many scientists have serious doubts about it?
40.3 % said evolution was not well supported by evidence; 20.9% did not know. Only 38.8% could respond accurately concerning the standing of evolution within the scientific arena.
Fuck.

I don’t trust the polls much here, the polling agencies are famously partizan and unreliable over time.
He has until the 15th to re-submit the papers for candidacy.
