Calin Georgescu lost the trial at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which rejected the action by which he asked that the second round of presidential elections should resume, G4Media informs. The court rejected the action and did not pronounce about the request, but the order denying the action mentions that ït is not admissible because of obvious incapacity.” G4Media presents the decision: “1. In his request based on articles 278 and 279 TFUE, the plaintif, Mr Calin Georgescu requests the Court president to force the Romanian Government to resume the second round of presidential elections in Romania, according to applicable national and international legal dispositions; secondly the suspension of juridical effects of the Constitutional Court Decision and thirdly the immediate communication of measures adopted to the European Commission and the European Commission for Democracy through Law. Through the request presented to the Court on January 27, 2025, the plaintiff introduced a legal action, according to articles 263 and 265 TFUE, in which he stated that the Commission did not act by not adopting adequate measures to monitor election processes in Romania and to prevent the infringement of fundamental rights and, on the other hand, a declaration by which certain measures are compatible to EU law. In a separate document presented to the Court on February 17, 2025, the plaintiff introduced the present request for provisional measures. In today's order Georgescu/Romania and the Commission , the Court rejected the action of the main cause, according to article 126 the Court Procedure Regulation, as being unadmissible and also because obviously it was not admissible. Consequently, considering the secondary character of the procedure of provisional measures reported to the main cause, there is no need to pronounce on the present request for privisional measures. According to article 133 of the Procedure Regulation, the court pronounces on the decision or order that concludes the procedure on court expenses only on court expenses related to the main cause , which belongs to the judge . According to article 137 of the Procedure Regulation, when a cause is not tried, court expenses are decided by the Court. Since the present order was adopted before the request for provisional measures was communicated to Romania and the Commission, it should be decided that the plaintiff should pay court expenses. The president of the EU court decides that: 1. It is not necessary to pronounce on the request of provisional measures. 2. Mr Calin Georgescu supports his own court expenses, Luxembourg , March 3, 2025.
