Călin Georgescu, the far-right candidate takes shock lead in Romania presidential election

  • Currency: EUR

Or, in other words, how the Europe countries see my country, the messed up not educated enough Romania: with more than 99% of votes counted, the ultranationalist Călin Georgescu was on 23%, followed by centre-right candidate Elena Lasconi of the Save Romania Union and the current populist social democrat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, the pre-election favourite.

The strong showing of Călin Georgescu, who has no party of his own and campaigned largely on the social media platform TikTok, came as the biggest surprise of the election. Many people watching the election preparations and the elections were not expected him to win the first round. The latest count suggests Eleba Lasconi is narrowly ahead of Marcel Ciolacu by around 2.000 votes and will face Călin Georgescu in a final run-off for the presidency on 8th December 2024.

The first video was uplodades by BBC News and the second is a Deutsche Welle video. The first round of the presidential election in Romania saw a pro-Russia candidate claim the most votes, knocking the pro-European Union prime minister Marcel Ciolacu out of the race in the process Ithe first member of his party history not going in the second round).

With nearly all of the votes counted, the far right's Călin Gerogescu found himself with about 23% of votes, with center-right candidate Elena Lasconi just behind him. A run-off election will be held in two weeks to decide the winner un between them the Romanians will be voting the parliamentary elections and some party may be seening the yesterday round as a party mess with them being on the ground.

For more on this, Deutsche Welle reporters talk to political scientist Oana-Valentina Suciu, who joins us from the Romanian capital Bukarest. The video chapters are:

The first step is establishing the strategy for the following months or years - that's as important as the design and site itself.
