The Roman national wins the first round of presidential vote

George Simon, a right -wing national, a promise “made Romania a great again”, won the first round of his country’s presidential elections on Sunday, which led to the last direction of voters who are punished for the candidates who are seen as friendly to President Trump.

As more than 98 percent of the votes were calculated inside Romania, Mr. Simion was a lot of 10 competitors, and he got more than 40 percent. There is a partial census of the voices of the Romanians who live abroad, who generally tend to the hard right, and Mr. Simyon gave the reins of the great initiative.

ResultsDespite the incomplete, Mr. Simon guaranteed a hole on a round of 18 May against the second place, Nicosur Dan, the mayor of Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

Unlike voters in Canada and Australia who in the recent elections, the opposition parties publicly to Mr. Trump, Romanians, through his support for Mr. Simyoun, are rewarded with one of the most fans in Europe in the Maga movement.

Romanian voters also gave a strong reprimand to a decision in December by the country’s constitutional court To cancel the previous first round From presidential voting and cancellation of Calin Georgescu’s victoryand Realistic. Accuse In February with various crimes, including illegal campaigns and participating in the establishment of an organization “with a fascist, racist or foreigners.”

Mr. Georgsku, who was prevented from competing in the re -scheduling vote, voted on Sunday alongside Mr. Simon. Both men threw themselves as heroes of the ordinary Romanians against a corrupt institution.

Celebrating the results on Sunday evening, Mr. Simon announced the elections, “A victory for the Roman dignity”.

He said, “Despite the obstacles,” despite the manipulation, despite the press that prompted the delivery of the United States day after day, the Romans stood up. “

Mr. Simon shares many opinions of Mr. Georgsco, including hostility to the European Union and opposition to military aid to Ukraine. However, he is known much than Roman policy for years, and is considered somewhat more predictable – than Mr. Georgsco, an irregular figure exposed to Sufi education and comment on the previous Romanian comments.

Few Romanians heard about Mr. Georgsco until he won the first round of voting after increasing the support led by a mysterious flood of videos on Tijook in the last days of the campaign.

The Constitutional Court canceled its victory just two days before a round vote in December that Mr. Georgsco was in a good position to win. The court said it wanted to “ensure the health and legitimacy of the electoral process.”

The court intervention pushed street protests and complaints By Vice President JD VANCThis was that Europe was “retreat” from democracy and freedom of expression. The ruling came after the Romanian security service issued intelligence reports that the secrecy that indicated the potential Russian intervention in the election campaign was submitted. But he did not provide any strong evidence From that.

The Romanian president has limited powers, but it includes the comprehensive leadership of the armed forces, a major opinion on military spending and supervision of foreign policy. Control of economic policies and other local policies with Parliament, where the middle forces have a narrow majority.
