EPP Group President Manfred Weber condemns PSD's decision not to support pro-European candidate Nicușor Dan in the second round of the presidential elections

He publicly expressed his disapproval of PSD's decision not to support the pro-European candidate Nicușor Dan against George Simion, leader of AUR, in the presidential elections. Weber underlined the importance of supporting a pro-European candidate in the context of the rise of extremism in Europe. PSD has announced that it will not support any candidate in the second round, in which Nicușor Dan will face George Simion, who received 40.96% of the votes in the first round, compared to 20.99% for Dan.
