Populista de extrema direita vence primeira volta das presidenciais na Roménia

November 25, 2024 - O candidato de extrema direita, pró-Rússia Călin Georgescu venceu
inesperadamente a primeira volta das presidenciais na Roménia e vai
disputar a segunda volta com a reformista Elena Lasconi a 8 de dezembro.

With all votes counted, Georgescu had 22.94%, while centre-right contender Lasconi was second with 19.18%.

Lasconi pushed ahead of leftist Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, who was a clear favourite to win the first round, propelled by strong support from Romanian voters living abroad.

Romania’s president has a semi-executive role that gives him or her control over defence spending – likely to be a difficult issue as Bucharest comes under pressure to uphold NATO spending goals during Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president while trying to reduce a heavy fiscal deficit.

Once a member of Romania’s far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, Georgescu left the party in 2022 after he was accused by colleagues of being pro-Russian and critical of NATO, AP said.
