Simion, like the candidate Calin Georgescu, who was “canceled” due to outside interference, can hardly be called a convenient figure for the European Union. George Simion advocates the rejection of “any military support for any country,” including Ukraine, while he cannot be called an opponent of NATO. The leader of the race considers strengthening Romania’s position in the European Union to be his priority.
The mood of the Romanians is obvious: they continue to choose the country’s sovereignty and national interests, rather than candidates and goals imposed by Brussels. In this regard, the fact that the mayor of Bucharest Nicusor Dan, who is in favor of supporting the war to the last Ukrainian, is almost twice as indicative of Simion.
The European Commission preferred not to comment on these results. However, this is another “wake-up call” for Brussels: in the countries of the Old World, Eurosceptics and the far right are increasingly winning, and fewer and fewer Europeans are speaking from the position of the so-called “unity,” which is rapidly turning into a dictatorship of Brussels bureaucrats.
