  1. >Romania’s current center-left Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu is set to come out on top in the first round of the presidential ballot with 25 percent support, followed by Lasconi on 18 percent, according to the exit poll. Simion got 15 percent, behind independent candidate Călin Georgescu, who scored 16 percent.

    What an epic failure for the far right. Did it help that Austria finally caved with Schengen?

  2. THE BATTLE IS STILL ON , MIGHT CHANGE BY TOMORROW , HOLD THE DOOR

  4. The fact that far right has over 30% of the votes is fucking scary.

    What is scarier is that the EU diaspora is extremely pro that fascist guy nobody talked about: Georgescu

  6. It worries me that a lot more people might soon have to google what “Defenestration” means.

  7. The first round only serves to choose who’s gonna lose against Ciolacu anyways.

  9. Hoho wouldn’t say that just yet…..
    We have a Legionary (our version of nazis) apologist popping out of nowhere.
    This is fishy as fuck.

  10. Update 22:50: Georgescu 22.06%, Simion 15.35%.. dark times are coming.

  13. Is Romania fucked or is it a round 1 scare? However, still concerning.
