US EditionThousands join a pro-EU rally in Romania’s capital as pivotal presidential runoff looms
- Thousands of people gathered in Bucharest on May 9, 2025, for a pro-European Union rally ahead of Romania's presidential runoff election on May 18.
- The rally followed the first round of a rerun election caused by a court voiding last year's vote amid allegations of fraud and interference.
- The runoff pits 38-year-old hard-right nationalist George Simion, the front-runner, against 55-year-old Nicusor Dan, the capital's pro-EU mayor, both antiestablishment candidates.
- Simion leads Romania's second-largest party, denies intentions to leave the EU, states "We want to be a member of the European Union," and polls suggest he holds a lead.
- Observers warn the election outcome could shift Romania's geopolitical direction between strengthening EU ties or moving closer to Russia, affecting NATO's eastern flank.
