Pro-EU Centrist Wins Romania's Tense Presidential Race Over Hard-Right Nationalist
The Daily Guardian
|May 20, 2025
Pro-European Union candidate Nicusor Dan on Sunday won Romania's closely watched presidential runoff against a hard-right nationalist who modeled his campaign after U.S. President Donald Trump.
The victory marked a major turnaround in a tense election that many viewed as a geopolitical choice for the former Eastern Bloc country between East or West.
The race pitted front-runner George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, against Dan, the incumbent mayor of Bucharest.
