Millions of voters in Romania, Poland, and Portugal will head to the polls this Sunday, with crucial elections that could shape the future of their countries amid rising political tensions.
In Romania, a presidential runoff follows the annulled election of last year, which was marred by concerns over Russian interference. The far-right candidate, George Simion, leads against centrist Nicușor Dan. A win for Simion could steer Romania away from pro-European policies toward a more nationalist agenda.
In Poland, the race for president is tight, with major implications for foreign and domestic policies. The ruling Civic Coalition, led by Donald Tusk, faces competition from conservative Karol Nawrocki and far-right candidate Sławomir Mentzen. The outcome could determine the future of Poland’s liberal policies, including abortion and LGBTQ+ rights.
Portugal will hold its third snap election in just three years, triggered by Prime Minister Luís Montenegro’s business scandal. While his Democratic Alliance is expected to do well, they are unlikely to secure a majority, leaving them to negotiate with smaller parties. The rise of far-right support adds complexity to Montenegro’s prospects as prime minister.
These elections are set to play a significant role in shaping the political landscapes of these countries, with their outcomes closely watched across Europe.
