Romanian Far-Right Frontrunner Barred From May Presidential Vote
Romania barred far-right frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May's presidential election, in a move that could worsen the country's political turmoil.
The Bucharest-based electoral bureau invalidated Georgescu's candidacy, a spokesman from the bureau said on Sunday. It received more than 1,000 challenges to Georgescu's candidacy mostly related to his anti-democratic and extremist stances. The decision can still be appealed at the Constitutional Court.

US consulates to resume processing visas for Harvard students, report says
'I don't think anyone who's overseas studying in America is feeling secure at this point,' said Boston-based immigration attorney Annelise Araujo. 'If I'm a student, I'm thinking twice about whether I want to go through this.' Advertisement On Wednesday, Trump dramatically escalated his attempts to punish the university when he announced a directive to deny visas to all Also on Thursday, Harvard filed an opposition in court to Trump's move and, late that night, won a temporary stay from a federal judge in Boston, preventing the president from moving ahead with his plan. Advertisement Then came Friday night's cable, rescinding the one sent out Thursday, according to the Post. The news organization reported that the latest cable, sent at 7:55 p.m., said the consulates 'must resume processing of Harvard University student and exchange visitor visas.' On Saturday, Harvard and the State Department both declined to comment or confirm the Post's reporting. 'It's a step in the right direction,' Araujo, the immigration attorney, told the Globe of the news about the latest cable. 'I don't think students should be a pawn between the administration and Harvard.' Still, Araujo and others who work with international students say uncertainty and negative headlines are sowing uncertainty and worry among foreigners considering studying in the US, leading many to consider continuing their studies elsewhere. Both Harvard and the Trump administration are next due in court on June 16 as the legal battle moves ahead. Dan Berger, an immigration attorney from Northampton who works with colleges and people seeking student visas, said the constant changes in policy cause as much concern as anything. 'I'm sure this will impact the number of foreign students,' he said. 'If the goal is to discourage people from coming to the US to study, that's probably what's going to happen.'

Lebanon aims to lure back wealthy Gulf tourists to jumpstart its war-torn economy
Now, after last year's bruising war with Israel, Hezbollah is much weaker and Lebanon's new political leaders sense an opportunity to revitalize the economy once again with help from wealthy neighbors. They aim to disarm Hezbollah and rekindle ties with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries, which in recent years have prohibited their citizens from visiting Lebanon or importing its products. Advertisement 'Tourism is a big catalyst, and so it's very important that the bans get lifted,' said Laura Khazen Lahoud, the country's tourism minister. On the highway leading to the Beirut airport, once-ubiquitous banners touting Hezbollah's leadership have been replaced with commercial billboards and posters that read 'a new era for Lebanon.' In the center of Beirut, and especially in neighborhoods that hope to attract tourists, political posters are coming down, and police and army patrols are on the rise. Advertisement There are signs of thawing relations with some Gulf neighbors. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have lifted yearslong travel bans. All eyes are now on Saudi Arabia, a regional political and economic powerhouse, to see if it will follow suit, according to Lahoud and other Lebanese officials. A key sticking point is security, these officials say. Although a ceasefire with Israel has been in place since November, near-daily airstrikes have continued in southern and eastern Lebanon, where Hezbollah over the years had built its political base and powerful military arsenal. As vital as tourism is — it accounted for almost 20% of Lebanon's economy before it tanked in 2019 — the country's leaders say it is just one piece of a larger puzzle they are trying to put back together. Lebanon's agricultural and industrial sectors are in shambles, suffering a major blow in 2021, when Saudi Arabia banned their exports after accusing Hezbollah of smuggling drugs into Riyadh. Years of economic dysfunction have left the country's once-thriving middle class in a state of desperation. The World Bank says poverty nearly tripled in Lebanon over the past decade, affecting close to half its population of nearly 6 million. To make matters worse, inflation is soaring, with the Lebanese pound losing 90% of its value, and many families lost their savings when banks collapsed. Tourism is seen by Lebanon's leaders as the best way to kickstart the reconciliation needed with Gulf countries -- and only then can they move on to exports and other economic growth opportunities. Advertisement 'It's the thing that makes most sense, because that's all Lebanon can sell now,' said Sami Zoughaib, research manager at The Policy Initiative, a Beirut-based think tank. With summer still weeks away, flights to Lebanon are already packed with expats and locals from countries that overturned their travel bans, and hotels say bookings have been brisk. At the event hosted last month by the tourism ministry, the owner of the St. Georges Hotel, Fady El-Khoury, beamed. The hotel, owned by his father in its heyday, has acutely felt Lebanon's ups and downs over the decades, closing and reopening multiple times because of wars. 'I have a feeling that the country is coming back after 50 years,' he said. On a recent weekend, as people crammed the beaches of the northern city of Batroun, and jet skis whizzed along the Mediterranean, local business people sounded optimistic that the country was on the right path. 'We are happy, and everyone here is happy,' said Jad Nasr, co-owner of a private beach club. 'After years of being boycotted by the Arabs and our brothers in the Gulf, we expect this year for us to always be full.' Still, tourism is not a panacea for Lebanon's economy, which for decades has suffered from rampant corruption and waste. Lebanon has been in talks with the International Monetary Fund for years over a recovery plan that would include billions in loans and require the country to combat corruption, restructure its banks, and bring improvements to a range of public services, including electricity and water. Without those and other reforms, Lebanon's wealthy neighbors will lack confidence to invest there, experts said. A tourism boom alone would serve as a 'morphine shot that would only temporarily ease the pain' rather than stop the deepening poverty in Lebanon, Zoughaib said. Advertisement The tourism minister, Lahoud, agreed, saying a long-term process has only just begun. 'But we're talking about subjects we never talked about before,' she said. 'And I think the whole country has realized that war doesn't serve anyone, and that we really need our economy to be back and flourish again.'
