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.
The previous rightoid guy won because he did all of his media campaigning on social media like TikTok and bought an army of influencers. While the other candidates campaigned the traditional way. Romanian voters were swayed by fucking TikTok. who owns TikTok by the way?
The deaf man heard what the mute man said
Then they all followed where the blind man led
