In a high‑stakes May 18 runoff, nationalist George Simion and centrist Nicușor Dan clash in a tight race that could steer Romania’s political and European trajectory for years to come.
Romania is approaching a pivotal presidential runoff on May 18, featuring a contest between far-right nationalist George Simion and centrist Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan. Simion secured approximately 41% of the vote in the first round, while Dan garnered around 21%.
Recent polls suggest a closely contested race, with some indicating a tie and others showing a slight lead for Simion. Simion, known for his nationalist rhetoric and skepticism towards the European Union, has drawn comparisons to former U.S. President Donald Trump. Dan, a pro-European reformist, emphasizes anti-corruption and economic stability.
The outcome of this election holds significant implications for Romania's domestic policies and its role within the EU and NATO. A Simion victory could signal a shift towards nationalism and potential challenges to EU cohesion, while a Dan presidency would likely reinforce Romania's pro-European trajectory.
