💨 Abstract

Romania's interim president, Ilie Bolojan of the Liberal Party, assumed office on Wednesday, facing the challenge of overseeing a repeat presidential election in May amidst a rising far-right political force. The election was voided in December due to allegations of Russian meddling. Hard-right parties won 35% of parliamentary seats in December, exploiting public discontent with established pro-European parties embroiled in corruption scandals.
