Georgescu came out of nowhere to win the first round of the presidential vote last November, partly on the back of a wildly successfully TikTok campaign.
But the Constitutional Court annulled his victory after an alleged Russian operation was seen to influence the result.
The Trump administration, itself aligning with the Kremlin on core foreign policy objectives, has supported the idea of allowing Georgescu to compete.
Trump’s senior adviser Elon Musk reacted immediately to Sunday’s news from Romania with a tweet saying: “This is crazy.”
Georgescu also tried to play up what he claimed were international implications to the burea’s decisions: “If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall!” he wrote on Facebook. “This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship, Romania is under tyranny!”
