Far-right candidate Simion's lead in Romania's presidential election reflects public discontent with political elites. To protect democracy, parties must better represent their voters & engage with them in a fair information environment, says Oana Popescu-Zamfir. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

Party leaders in Romania prioritized loyalty & corruption over competence, causing discontent within the population. That is why George Simion, a far-right candidate, now finds himself on the verge of victory in the presidential election, says Oana Popescu-Zamfir. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…


Romania risks joining the ranks of Europe's populist nationalist axis. If Simion wins the presidential election this Sunday, the EU's pushback against Russia and its ability to face Trump's trade war will be further endangered, argues Oana Popescu-Zamfir. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

N-are cum sa nu fie bine! Dupa ce am vorbit cu zecile de tineri care au venit la Carturesti, inteligenti, seriosi, implicati, cu busola la ei, aratand ce trebuie, empatici, deschisi la minte ,cred cu convingere ca va fi bine no matter what. youtu.be/gDxpBkGaNw8?si… Cornel Ban


...or not! Some of my views on the #Romania presidential election for CNN International edition.cnn.com/2025/05/16/eur…




With Nicușor Dan winning Romania's presidential election against all odds, the country has dodged a bullet—for now. To restore sound democratic competition, political parties need to become representative of their electorate again, writes Oana Popescu-Zamfir. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…
