Parliamentary elections: far-right on the rise, pro-European parties retreat
The parliamentary elections taking place on Sunday, December 1, are the most tense since 1990, in light of the rise of far-right political forces close to Russia, anti-European and anti-NATO, and the retreat of pro-European parties following the result of the first round of the presidential elections, held on November 24 and in which the independent candidate Călin Georgescu, who declared himself to be anti-system, came in first with 22.4% of the votes and who will have the support of AUR and SOS in the second round of the election.
