President Nicușor Dan wins lawsuit against Romania’s Electoral Authority over campaign reimbursements Romanian president Nicușor Dan won the lawsuit filed against the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) after the institution refused to reimburse nearly RON 1 million spent by Dan in the campaign for last year’s presidential elections. The decision issued by the Bucharest Court of Appeal is not final and can be challenged on appeal, according to Digi24 . A panel from the administrative and fiscal litigation section of the Bucharest Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the president on Tuesday, May 5. The Permanent Electoral Authority initially invalidated expenses of over RON 930,000 (EUR 176,000) made by the then-independent candidate during the electoral campaign for last year’s presidential elections.
