US EditionKremlin Calls Romanian Presidential Election ‘Strange’ After Centrist Defeats Far-Right Rival
- On Sunday, Romania conducted a repeated presidential vote in which Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan, a pro-European moderate, triumphed over a far-right nationalist opponent.
- The re-run followed the annulment of last December's vote after front-runner Călin Georgescu was disqualified for failing to disclose Russian influence links, a claim Russia denies.
- The Kremlin called the election unusual and condemned the disqualification of Georgescu, noting that Dan's win happened after the frontrunner was removed from the race without any official explanation.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also accused European countries of interfering in others' affairs, and France's intelligence agency denied allegations of pressuring Telegram founder Pavel Durov to restrict conservative Romanian voices.
- Dan's win relieved centrist policymakers amid EU concerns that dissatisfaction over migration and costs could boost far-right support and undermine unity on Russia and Ukraine policies.
