Oh hey, weird how this wasn't a problem until Georgescu started running. He was in Romanian politics and even in the government for a long time last I checked, so clearly Romanian regime didn't have a problem with fascist groups before. And all of a sudden they started caring when it became convenient for them. Seems to me that it's not fascism that's the problem for them.

Yes, I fully agree that the government tolerated these fringe groups for too long. There is no excuse for that. They suddenly gained visibility recently, and part of the group of actors involved in that rise in notoriety is Moscow.

Again, it's very clear that it's not fascism that the government takes issue with.

Fully agree, sadly Romania has nothing anywhere near anything resembling socialism, corruption is rampant with or without fascists taking center stage. If it's not American bootlickers in power, it's so called "suveranists" who would bend over backwards for anyone giving them an edge in local politics.
