Far-right Romanian frontrunner sees Russia as a ‘threat’
- Romania's electoral commission excluded Diana Sosoaca from the presidential election scheduled for May 4, 2025, following the ban of Calin Georgescu earlier this month, which sparked protests across the country.
- The electoral commission cited a previous ruling by Romania's constitutional court, which barred Sosoaca for making declarations that were 'contrary to democratic values.'
- Sosoaca, known for her pro-Russian views, declared, 'I am proof that we do not live in a democracy,' and announced plans to appeal the decision.
- George Simion, leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians, remains the most prominent far-right candidate after both Sosoaca and Georgescu were excluded from the race.
