💨 Abstract

Romania is holding a crucial presidential runoff election between George Simion, a hard-right nationalist, and Nicusor Dan, a pro-Western centrist. The vote, which follows a canceled election due to allegations of violations and Russian interference, could shape Romania's geopolitical direction within the EU and NATO. Simion, known for his anti-establishment stance, leads with a promise to restore democracy and reduce bureaucracy.
