Calin Georgescu Ally George Simion Triumphs

An old joke about the alternative media is that we sell dooming with a side of gold. But in reality, the lights of freedom are not entirely going dark for Europe. People who want to live in a free world are stirring across central Europe, in Hungary, as well as in Europe's southeast.

While Still Under the EU/NATO, the Romanian Electorate Cast a Majority Vote for a Peaceful Resolution to Europe's Unfinished Molotov-Ribbentrop Business Leftover from World War II

Sunday's election result in Romania--and the EU stooge Romanian authorities inability to nullify it with some ludicrous excuse of Russian TikTok interference as in December--is evidence in favor of former ESW show guest Tom Luongo's thesis: that the Davos Men are losing control. But Luongo has also said that the globalists after centuries of intrigues will not give up power lightly and will engage in a scorched earth retreat, burning down nations as they lose. Take a good look at war-wrecked Ukraine, for example, or the ongoing deindustrialization by design and suppression of anti-globalist dissent that is driving enterprising Englishmen, Frenchmen and Germans out of their homelands.

Merely losing an election and acknowledging said defeat of course, will hardly be sufficient to derail NATO ambitions for Romania to be a frontline state and support base for the Anglo-French (and possibly, a Canadian and German) occupation of Odessa. Speaking of which, Simion believes Romania should be peacefully reunited by plebiscite with Moldova, a state whose existence interestingly enough predates the famous Renaissance-era proto-Romanian Wallachia state of Vlad Tepes aka Dracula (this is a sort of Vlach parallel to Kiev being the Mother of Russian cities, even though Pskov and Novgorod were founded before Kiev). Simion's base also looks at Bessarabia in what is presently the Ukraine southwest of Odessa as historically Romanian lands that underwent Ukrainization as a result of the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and subsequent Soviet decisions in 1940.

For such nationalist beliefs, Simion is persona non grata in Ukraine as well as in nominally neutral but in reality EU/NATO puppeteered Moldova. Obviously, for the foreseeable future a Romanian-Moldovan reunification and a peaceful settlement of Chisinau's post-Soviet conflict with the ethnically mixed Moldovan-Russo-Ukrainian territory of Transnistria remains impossible, given the present configuration of the EU and NATO, including their blank check support for Kiev. But the victory of "far-right candidate" Simion is a milestone for parts of Europe at least, to reject the EU globalist agenda.

Naturally, after Simion's big win, he made an appearance on former Trump advisor Steve Bannon's War Room show. Simion is a close friend and trusted political ally of the previously Romanian high court banned election victor Călin Georgescu, who was interviewed late last year by frequent ESW guest Michael Yon.

Romania Offers Relatively Straightforward Residency By Investment But Significant Family Ties or In-Country Stay Requirements for Obtaining Romanian EU Citizenship

Now we wait and see how the runoff election will go on May 18, 2025 vs the EU-backed Mayor of Bucharest, Nicușor Dan. And how the EU will react if Simion wins that contest, including by threatening the Romanians with sanctions to punish the voters' populist choice, as Brussels has sought to punish the Hungarians. Romania currently has no Golden Visa program, but it does offer relatively easy residency through investing €50,000 an LLC or €70,000 into a Joint Stock Company. But the path to citizenship with all the privileges of Schengen Zone mobility from such residency is hardly swift, and can take several years.

That said, Romania offers a relatively obscure--compared to Irish, Italian, Greek, Austrian and German policies--citizenship by descent option, including to the children and grandchildren of Romanian Jews persecuted under Nazi occupation or the Nazi-allied Antonescu regime prior to and during WW2. As for the strength of the Romanian passport beyond the Schengen Zone, GoldenVisas.com had this to say:

If Romania were to offer a Citizenship by Investment programme, one of the attractions for applicants would be its passport. The Romanian passport offers visa-free access to around 188 countries worldwide. It is a fairly strong passport. Concerning access for business people, it offers visa-free access to 56.2% of the world’s wealth (as measured by GDP) and 85.4% of the global travel popularity. It ranks 46th overall in La Vida’s comprehensive Global Passport Ranking.

Thanks to introductions made by our dev team colleagues in Bulgaria, ESW plans to offer Bulgarian residency by investment services later this summer. Over the next decade, as northwestern Europe continues to struggle under the #WorldWarWoke Brussels yoke, ESW is bullish on southeastern Europe, including Serbia and Montenegro as well as Greece.
