The first electoral debate between Nicușor Dan, mayor of Bucharest and independent presidential candidate, and George Simion, the AUR candidate, will take place on May 8 at the Politehnica University of Bucharest. Moderated by Euronews journalists, the debate will cover foreign policy, the economy and corruption. The candidates will interact directly, answering questions and addressing each other. Euronews editor-in-chief Andra Miron Diaconescu underlines the importance of this electoral moment, as Simion has so far avoided debates.
