Summary/Abstract: The book of Cătălin Augustin Stoica seeks to shed light on the events and societal developments that led to the unexpected victory of candidate Călin Georgescu in the first round of the Romanian presidential elections on November 24, 2024, and the subsequent annulment of the entire electoral process by the Constitutional Court. Combining diverse empirical data sources, elegant analyses, and mature insights, the author provides readers with a "brief autopsy" of an electoral moment that triggered a wave of anguish throughout Romanian society. The result is a remarkable work of public sociology, elegantly packaged in a predominantly essayistic style that is both captivating and accessible.
