Romania held its national election on May 19, 2025, where far-right influences were notably present. The election saw a significant push by far-right candidates, though their efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful in securing a majority. The far-right candidate, George Simion, led the initial round of voting. Simion's campaign was marked by a strong nationalist and autocratic stance, drawing comparisons to political figures like former U.S. President Donald Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This alignment highlighted a broader trend of international conservative support for similar ideologies. The election was closely watched both domestically and internationally, with observers noting the potential impact of far-right ideologies on Romanian politics. Despite the initial success of far-right candidates in the first round, the final results indicated that the broader electorate did not support their agenda, leading to their ultimate failure in gaining significant political power. The outcome underscored the resilience of democratic principles in Romania, as voters chose to reject the far-right's autocratic and ultra-nationalist proposals.
