"Not long after sparking outrage inside and outside the country by barring right-wing frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election, Romania has barred another populist from the contest, attributing the decision to the candidate's supposedly unacceptable policy stances and "making declarations "contrary to democratic values."

Romania's electoral commission on Saturday announced that Diana Sosoaca would be banned from competing for the country's presidency. That news is troubling enough on its face, but the Central Election Bureau's rationale makes the development all the more chilling: Sosoaca is supposedly unfit for office because she has publicly voiced opposition to Romania's memberships in the European Union and NATO.

She is known as the loneliest whale in the world, having been discovered in 1992 and monitored ever since. Scientists have noticed that she is unlike other whales: she has no family, does not belong to a pod and has never had a partner. She roams the ocean alone, calling for company, but no one answers. She was born different, with a unique voice. While other whales communicate at 12-25 Hz, she sings at a much higher frequency, 52 Hz, which prevents other whales from hearing her. Her call is ignored, and her attempts to communicate go unanswered...
But she keeps trying.

It just makes sense.
