- Romania faces a controversial presidential election on May 4 after the original vote was annulled due to concerns over Russian interference.
- George Simion, leader of the nationalist AUR, leads the polls, with four candidates — Simion, Crin Antonescu, Nicușor Dan, and Victor Ponta — having realistic chances of reaching the second round.
- A potential matchup between Simion and Ponta could be particularly concerning for the EU and NATO, with both candidates adopting nationalist stances, although Ponta may be perceived as more pro-European.
- Dan's voter base may be hindered by USR support, while Antonescu benefits from established party backing, influencing the dynamics of the election campaign.
