AI Summary:
Diana Sosoaca was barred from entering last year's annulled presidential election. The 49-year-old former lawyer and Member of the European Parliament of the far-right nationalist Romania party filed her candidacy at the Central Election Bureau in Bucharest. Rejections can be appealed within 24 hours. Romania’s president serves a five-year term and has significant decision-making powers. The deadline for presidential candidacy applications is March 15 at midnight. Sosoaca’s candidacy marks the latest twist in a turbulent presidential election following the CCR’s decision last year to annul the election two days before a Dec. 8 runoff. Victor Ponta, a former prime minister between 2012-2015 and former leader of Romania’s leftist Social Democratic Party, filed his bid on a “Romania First” ticket on Wednesday. “The real battle is that they don’t ban me like they did with Georgescu and Sosoaca,” he added. Elena Lasconi, leader of the Save Romania Union party, is also expected to stand as a candidate.
