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: https://www.politico.eu/article/calin-georgescu-romania-elections-far-right-tiktok-nato-skeptic-russia-ukraine-exports/ ...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
