As the data looks now and if all announced candidates remain in the race, the elections in Bucharest will be won with a score of under 30%. Possibly under 25%.
Călin Georgescu and George Simion together obtained, in Bucharest in the first round of the presidential elections in November 2024, 24.5%
6 months later, George Simion alone obtained in Bucharest, in the first round of the presidential elections in May 2025, 24.8%
Another 6 months later, we have elections again in Bucharest. That is, in that place where there is a "golden" electoral pool at a level of 25%!
We are talking about a stable pool, confirmed by voting twice in a row. A pool already detected, with serious sociological tools, through the scores of the two candidates, one dominant, the other secondary, who are currently running simultaneously in this corridor and whose cumulative voting intention is slowly starting to approach the maximum volume of the pool. It hasn't reached there yet, but the cold wind is blowing harder and harder, aided by the struggles in national politics, seemingly more and more deaf to the indignant cries of the citizens.
I at least hope that a dose of reason and light will come from the debates on solutions. Beyond the electoral traps, Bucharest is a difficult city where administrative competence should count infinitely more than the deafening noise of the political horns stuck in the traffic of extreme populism that has descended over Romania.
