Romania's far-right presidential candidate wins first round with significant margin

ai generated text

George Simion, a 38-year-old nationalist leader, is leading the first round of Romania's presidential election with 40% of the vote. He will face Bucharest's pro-EU mayor, Nicusor Dan, in the second round. According to preliminary results, Simion's lead is significant, but the second round will likely be a close contest.

    1. There are several ways in which, if the Romanian people want, Mr Georgescu can be in our country's leadership, and we will use it.
    2. We represent partners and we represent allies, both military and politically, to the current (US) administration. This is why it is important for MAGA presidents to be in charge in Bucharest and Warsaw.
    3. This is not just an electoral victory, it is a victory of Romanian dignity. It is the victory of those who have not lost hope, of those who still believe in Romania, a free, respected, sovereign country.
    4. We are here with a single mission: to return to democracy – and bring justice to Romania.
    5. This is the victory of those who want Romania to be a free and respected country.
    6. I have a single objective: to give back to the Romanian people what was taken from them.

    1. It's possible the diaspora vote will be enough to push Dan into the run-off.
