Romania's PSD Leads with 26% as Far-Right AUR and Călin Georgescu Gain Ground
Dec 1, 2024, 07:02 PM
Romania held parliamentary elections amid political turmoil, with the ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD) leading with 26% of the vote according to exit polls. The far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR), led by Călin Georgescu, made significant gains with approximately 18-20% of the vote, raising concerns about a possible shift in Romania's pro-European Union and NATO stance. Voter turnout was high at 52.45%, surpassing previous elections. Allegations of election interference and the possible annulment of the presidential election results have contributed to unrest, including protests in Bucharest. Observers worry about Russia's potential influence on Romania's political landscape.
