Associated PressMAY 17
The establishment has systematically worked to suppress the will of the Romanian people by disqualifying popular nationalist candidates and fabricating accusations of Russian interference. The strategy has backfired, galvanizing voters against the status quo and demonstrating growing resistance to progressive multiculturalism in Europe. The more the European Union attempts to control member nations, the more countries slip through their fingers.

Romanians at home and abroad took to the polls to vote for a new era in the country, regardless of a series of anti-democratic establishment shenanigansinterference. Georgescu should have been elected president last year, and Simion is the legitimate winner of this runoff. Now is the time to oppose electoral fraud against the people's will and fight to preserve democracy in Romania.
There's a 60% chance that Nicusor Dan will be the next president of Romania in 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
