Protests erupted in Bucharest after Romania's electoral body rejected far-right candidate Calin Georgescu’s May re-election bid. Videos showed chaos as his supporters clashed with police, who responded with tear gas.

Last week, Romanian authorities expelled two Russian diplomats, military attaché Victor Makovskiy and his deputy Evgeny Ignatiev, who were accused of foreign election interference tied to Mr. Georgescu’s campaign.

Chaos broke out in Romania's capital Sunday evening as incensed supporters of the far-right populist Calin Georgescu protested the electoral body's decision to reject his candidacy in a presidential election redo.
