The only thing standing between hard-right nationalist George Simion and the Romanian presidency is a mathematician who can see the odds aren’t great.
The numbers whizz is Nicușor Dan, now the independent centrist mayor of Bucharest, who goes into the May 18 second round of the presidential election as the underdog against a self-declared “Trumpist” who wants to cut military aid to Ukraine.
Simion, from the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), secured a comfortable win in Sunday’s first round, bagging a provisional 41 percent of the vote. The electoral map shows him coming first in an astonishing geographical sweep across Romania. He also secured the support of a whopping 61 percent of people voting abroad.
