- Experts warn that a Simion presidency risks isolating Romania internationally, destabilizing NATO's eastern flank, and harming private investment.
- Pro-European groups urge united support for centrist candidates to counter disinformation and extremist influence threatening Romania's democratic and geopolitical stability.
