Romania's Political Shift: Far-Right Surge Raises EU and NATO Concerns

The unexpected victory of far-right, pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu in Romania's presidential election first round has raised concerns in Brussels about Romania potentially aligning with Moscow, threatening EU and NATO unity. Reformist candidate Elena Lasconi, who will face Georgescu in a runoff, warns against Russian influence.
