Pro-EU centrist Nicusor Dan wins Romania's presidential election

The Pro-European Union centrist mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, has claimed victory in Romania's presidential run-off election over far-right nationalist candidate George Simion, who has conceded defeat.

After the presidential election in Romania, European politicians congratulated the pro-European winner Dan. European Commission President von der Leyen wrote on Platform X that the Romanians had opted for the promise of an open, prosperous Romania in a strong Europe.

The mayor of Bucharest Nicusor Dan becomes the new president of Romania. The right-wing populist Simion, who wants to make a Kremlin friend the prime minister, admits his defeat after long hesitation.

Ultranationalist George Simion was seen as a favorite in the presidential election. However, the concern for the country's future orientation has mobilized a great many people.
