The High Court of Cassation and Justice has decided to resume the preliminary hearing in the case of Călin Georgescu–Horațiu Potra, after the change of the panel of judges.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice has announced the resumption of preliminary hearings in the case of Călin Georgescu–Horațiu Potra, a decision that comes after the change of the judging panel.

This measure indicates that the substantive judgment in this case will be delayed, and the parties involved will have to wait for a new scheduling of the hearings. The change of the judging panel is a standard procedure in the Romanian judicial system, but it can influence the duration of the trial.

According to the indictment, prosecutors claim that, in the context of the annulment of the presidential elections in December 2024, Călin Georgescu and Horațiu Potra had devised a plan whereby a group of individuals with military training would divert peaceful protests and initiate violent subversive actions, with the aim of affecting constitutional order and the exercise of state power. The two contest the charges, and the case is set to be resolved by the court.

The case has generated considerable interest, and the resumption of the hearings will be closely monitored by the public. This decision underscores the complexity of the case and the necessity of adhering to legal procedures.
