In a shocking turn of events, a far-right, pro-Russia candidate has taken the lead in the first round of Romania’s presidential election. With more than [insert specific number] of votes tallied, the candidate has surpassed expectations and gained significant support from the Romanian electorate.
The rise of this far-right candidate signals a shift in political dynamics in Romania, as traditional parties and candidates have typically dominated the political landscape. Many political analysts were caught off guard by the strong showing of the far-right candidate, and are now closely monitoring the developments leading up to the final round of the election.
The candidate’s pro-Russia stance has raised concerns among some voters and international observers, as it aligns Romania closer to Russia at a time when tensions between Russia and the West are high. The candidate’s campaign promises and platform will be scrutinized in the coming weeks as voters make their final decision in the presidential election.
As the far-right candidate takes the lead in Romania’s presidential race, the political future of the country remains uncertain. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Pro Russia Far Right better than Pro West Far Wrong 👏
Mindless TikTok consumers followed the feeds from countless Russian bots and it shamefully amounted to 23% of our voters.
A pro Russia, anti NATO, independent candidate, which made a massive campaign on a platform owned and run by the Chinese communist party, Russia's main ally. Interesting…
I wonder who voted for him, because outside tiktok most people barely heard of him. And most people on tiktok are young, liberal and pro west.
I get that most of the other candidates are known to be corrupt, but this is like getting chemotherapy because your tired of shaving your head!
horrific news. 😢
BBC your fur right father is coming.
So let me get this straight…you talk about the romanian elections with a brit who is in Budapest? And then you're surprised a far right guy won…
You’re either deliberately lying or you’re simply misinformed. In no way he explicitly said he’s pro or con Putin. He simply made the point that many other Nato leaders made. We need to stop absolutism. He did explicitly say that being in Nato and EU is a good thing.

The BBC would probably call my cat far-right if it coughed up a furball their handlers didn't like.
Is not FAR RIGHT. He want the best for his people….not for corporations…
When you hear "far right" they trully mean what the majority of common sense people wants.
As an Italian I will say: good for them. 🇮🇹🇷🇴
Not Far Right..! The word is 'Patriot'
That's not great… at all
“fAr rIgHt” 😂
The Romanian state was formed in 1859 through a personal union of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The new state, officially named Romania since 1866, gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877. During World War I, after declaring its neutrality in 1914, Romania fought together with the Allied Powers from 1916. In the aftermath of the war, Bukovina, Bessarabia, Transylvania, and parts of Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș became part of the Kingdom of Romania.[1] In June–August 1940, as a consequence of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and Second Vienna Award, Romania was compelled to cede Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union and Northern Transylvania to Hungary. In November 1940, Romania signed the Tripartite Pact and, consequently, in June 1941 entered World War II on the Axis side, fighting against the Soviet Union until August 1944, when it joined the Allies and recovered Northern Transylvania.
Following the war and occupation by the Red Army, Romania became a socialist republic and a member of the Warsaw Pact. After the 1989 Revolution, Romania began a transition towards democracy and a market economy.
Why the European union will never work.
