Romanian Presidential Race: Controversies and Far-Right Surge
Romania's presidential election is heating up as pro-EU parties unite to support reformist candidate Elena Lasconi against far-right contender Călin Georgescu. Georgescu, who has been likened to Trump, is benefiting from a Russia-style booster campaign, according to declassified documents. Despite a strong showing by the far-right in recent parliamentary elections, the Constitutional Court has cleared Georgescu for the presidential runoff, dismissing fraud allegations. The outcome of the upcoming vote is crucial as it could shift Romania's political landscape.
