Romania's internationally monitored presidential elections are being influenced by the Romanian diaspora and the annulment of previous elections, which has triggered a political crisis. AUR leader George Simion dominates the polls and a victory could undermine Romania's support for Ukraine. Central campaign themes include inflation, corruption and support for Ukraine, and social media is playing an important role in Simion's rise. Romania is at a crucial moment for its democratic future, in a European context favorable to nationalism.
