Bucharest’s “electoral mess” shouldn’t even be called a presidential vote, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has dismissed allegations from Romania that Moscow interfered in the second round of the country’s presidential elections. In a statement on Monday, Zakharova pointed to the contentious nature of the vote in Romania, advising its officials to focus on “cleaning” their own reputation.
The diplomat was responding to claims by Romanian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Andrei Tarnea, who alleged that there were “hallmarks of Russian interference” during the election.
On Sunday, pro-EU centrist Nicusor Dan was elected president of Romania, defeating conservative and Euroskeptic rival George Simion, who has accused France and Moldova of attempting to undermine his campaign.
Zakharova questioned the legitimacy of Romania’s presidential vote, saying it should not be considered a proper election.
“You can’t interfere in something like that – only get entangled in it,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram. “They shouldn’t try to drag others into their electoral mess. They should clean it up themselves.”
The election followed the annulment of the previous vote, in which independent right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu had led in the first round with 23% of the vote. Romania’s Constitutional Court overturned the results, citing electoral irregularities and allegations of foreign interference, including claims of Russian involvement – accusations that Moscow has denied. Georgescu was subsequently barred from standing in the re-run.
Simion, the leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), has publicly backed Georgescu and appeared alongside him at a polling station on Sunday. He had earlier condemned the annulment of the 2024 election results as a “coup d’état” and said that, if elected, he would consider appointing Georgescu as prime minister.
Simion, who opposes military aid to Kiev and has been barred from visiting Ukraine, decisively swept the first round on May 4, securing 40%, while Dan and former Senator Crin Antonescu each garnered around 20%.
Dan is known as a staunchly pro-EU and pro-NATO candidate, and has called Romania’s support for Ukraine vital for national security.
Ahead of the Sunday’s runoff, Simion accused the pro-EU government in neighboring Moldova of attempting to rig the vote. The two countries share close historical and cultural links, with about 30% of Moldovans holding dual citizenship.
He claimed on Facebook that the country’s voter rolls included 1.7 million fictitious names, alleging that many of them belong to people who are no longer alive.
Simion also alleged that voters were being bussed in from Moldova to cast ballots. He previously accused his opponent, Dan, of breaking the campaign silence rule by engaging in political activity on the eve of the vote.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov said in a post on Sunday that Nicolas Lerner, head of French foreign intelligence, had personally urged him to censor conservative voices on the platform ahead of Romania’s presidential election rerun. The Russian-born entrepreneur said he refused the request.
, Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun), Kim Jong Hyun (Lee Sang Yi), Go Man Sik (Heo Sung Tae), and Shin Jae Hong (Tae Won Suk)—who become police officers through a special recruitment program. Swapping medals for badges, they take on a world full of corruption, deception, and injustice.
First, the “Hero” version of the main poster contrasts the glorious past of the medalists standing tall on the podium with the gritty reality they now face as police officers. Boxing gold medalist Yoon Dong Joo, shooting gold medalist Ji Han Na, fencing silver medalist Kim Jong Hyun, wrestling bronze medalist Go Man Sik, and discus throw bronze medalist Shin Jae Hong all became heroes who received nationwide cheers after pushing themselves to the limit—scraping their knees, getting blisters on their hands and feet, and running until their mouths tasted of iron.
However, after the Olympic flame cooled and they were forced to end their athletic careers for various reasons, they were confronted with a harsh reality. Now, as special recruits in the police force, they are shown sitting exhausted on the floor below the podium, their bodies battered and bruised from sweat and toil. This image vividly conveys the weight of their difficult new reality, standing in stark contrast to the day when everyone was burning with passion.”
The “Winner” version of the main poster captures the Good Boy avengers as they boldly confront criminals of injustice and immorality by standing up to them with rules and principles—seizing victory once again.
The production team remarked, “The two versions of the main poster released this time visually encapsulate the narrative that ‘Good Boy’ will unfold. Both the glory of the days when they won medals and the tough battles they face now are all part of ‘Good Boy.’ You’ll be able to experience this exhilarating story, full of energy, laughter, action, youth, and justice, on screen starting from May 31. We hope you’ll join us for the first broadcast, which is now just ten days away.”
“Good Boy” is set to premiere on May 31 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
