George Simion of AUR party opposes military aid to Ukraine, has vilified EU leaders and will face a centrist in run-off vote
An ultranationalist who opposes military aid to Ukraine, has vilified the EU’s leaders, and calls himself Donald Trump’s “natural ally” has won the first round of Romania’s rerun presidential vote and will face a centrist in the run-off, early estimates predict.
Initial projections after polling stations closed on Sunday showed George Simion, whose far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) began as an anti-vax movement during the pandemic, comfortably in the lead on between 30% and 33% of the vote.
Lots of uneducated people and lots of propaganda and bought classical media.
The thing is that what this guy says in not necessary wrong, he is right that the politicians are fucking over simple people and only care about their fat checks. But his methods on addressing the issues are non existent, he is clearly pro Russian.
We are in a class war hidden as “good old traditions” vs “deranged” lgbt.
Edit: As a fellow Romanian I don’t see it in anyway different than Trump, AfD in DE, Marine in France and Meloni in Italy. Putin is having fun and the horrible social networks don’t help
