US EditionPeople rally in support of the European Union in Bucharest
- On May 9, 2025, about 50,000 people gathered in Bucharest to rally in support of Romania's pro-European Union path ahead of the presidential runoff.
- The rally followed the May 4 first-round vote where nationalist George Simion led with 40.9 percent and will face pro-EU Nicusor Dan in the May 18 runoff.
- Participants waved Romanian and EU flags, chanted slogans like "We are in Europe," and joined similar Europe Day rallies across Romania.
- Dan described the vote as "a choice between a pro-Western direction and an anti-Western one," warning that Romania’s EU accession could be lost.
- The runoff could reshape Romania’s geopolitical orientation within the EU and NATO amid concerns over Simion’s nationalist stance and alleged Russian ties.
