Romanian presidential election is heading towards a potentially spicy result.
The neighbours held their presidential election last Sunday, normal schedule, happens every 5 years. It's a fairly important position, since their system is apparently a semi-presidential, their head of state holds some executive powers, and not just a figurehead, who signs the laws.
If a candidate gets 50%+1 votes, then he wins, if not the two top supported candidate will race for the office in a second round. And ofc last Sunday they failed to get a decisive result. So the two candidates are:
1. with 22.94% Calin Georgescu is the leading candidate;
2. Elena Lasconi with 19.18% is the second.

According to Politico:

...Calin Georgescu is
>A Russia-supporting vaccine skeptic who praises his country’s WWII fascist leaders
Hilarious.
The authors (it needed three guys to write it! lol) of the article really like the word "skeptic":
>a far-right, NATO-skeptic Russia fan,
And even when writing about his sportsmanship we get:
>Georgescu was shown barely breaking a sweat on the running track, flipping opponents in judo — à la Putin
And they give a summary about him at the "Fascist and Communist" heading:
- he said the 1989 revolution was a coup he is right tho
