Romanian and Polish right-wing presidential candidates Simion and Nawrocki campaign together

Romanian candidate George Simion and Polish candidate Karol Nawrocki, both right-wing, campaigned together in Zabrze ahead of their May 18 presidential elections.
Simion leads Romania's election after winning nearly 41% on May 4 and will face Nicușor Dan in a runoff the following weekend, while Nawrocki competes among 13 candidates in Poland's first round the same day.
At the Zabrze rally, Nawrocki welcomed Simion’s support and emphasized defending national values, currency, and independence from EU centralization.
Simion declared they will “build a Europe of values” and oppose EU power centralization that reduces nations to provinces, statements echoed by Nawrocki and welcomed by Poland’s Law and Justice party.
The joint campaign highlights an alliance of right-wing candidates rejecting EU interference amid contested narratives of pro-Russian ties and criticism from Poland’s opposition leader Donald Tusk.
