[10] According to documents provided by the Romanian security services, his campaign used undeclared funds of over €1,000,000 and election infrastructure experienced cyber-attacks believed to originate from "a state actor".

He was President of the European Research Centre for the Club of Rome from 2013 to 2015 and the Executive Director of the UN Global Sustainable Index Institute in Geneva and Vaduz from 2015 to 2016.

[25][12] Georgescu filed an appeal in the European Court of Human Rights against the cancellation, which the ECHR rejected on 21 January 2025 saying that it did not have jurisdiction over the case.

Georgescu said that if elected, he would fight antisemitism, move the Romanian embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Bucharest, and ignore the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu, despite Romania being a state party to the Rome Statute.

Georgescu accused the arms industry in the United States of fueling the Russo-Ukrainian War, but claimed that "For me and my people, the most important is the partnership with America."

[22] Georgescu also criticised the European Union and NATO, and in a 2021 interview, he described the latter's ballistic missile defense shield in Deveselu as a "shame of diplomacy",[36] and called it a "disgrace".

[37][22][38] Speaking of the war in Donbas that began in 2014, Georgescu said in 2021: "The situation in Ukraine is clearly manipulated, with the goal of provoking a conflict destined to financially help the military-industrial complex of USA.

[43] In a podcast, he also mentioned that carbonated juices contain nanochips, which "enter you like into a laptop", and considers climate change "a global scam", which "has nothing to do with reality".

[43][44][45] Georgescu's campaign used social media, especially TikTok, where his videos had more than 52 million views in a four day period and attracted the attention of younger voters.

The Romanian Supreme Council of National Defence said that TikTok had given Georgescu "preferential treatment" leading to his "massive exposure".

The documents said that the campaign was coordinated through Telegram and Discord channels, where advice was given to participants on how to bypass TikTok security mechanisms, avoid geoblocking and bans for comment spam.

The South African advertising company FA Agency contacted a number of TikTok influencers and offered €1,000 for promoting Georgescu's videos.

Georgescu's opponent, Elena Lasconi, said "The constitutional court’s decision is illegal, amoral and crushes the very essence of democracy, voting".
