Romania's Presidential Race: Reformist vs. Nationalist in Potential Runoff
In the Romanian election, a reformist candidate is poised to defeat a hard-right leader and advance to the presidential runoff. This development is part of a broader political landscape where Western nations are navigating complex geopolitical challenges, including France's stance on military aid to Ukraine and the UK's concerns over Russian cyber threats to NATO. Additionally, the UK is seeking to improve post-Brexit relations with the EU, while NATO members express concerns about potential destabilization under the U.S. president-elect.
