Romania holds parliamentary elections with far-right parties seeking to gain significant ground

ai generated text

The presidential election in Romania was thrown into chaos on November 28, after a court ordered a recount of the first-round results. Security officials alleged that interference via TikTok boosted a little-known far-right candidate, Calin Georgescu, who won the election. The move came as the country braces for legislative polls and a run-off vote. Calin Georgescu knocked Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu out of the race. Romanians returned to the polls on Sunday, December 1, to elect a new parliament. The far-right is tipped to win, potentially shifting the foreign policy of the NATO country bordering Ukraine.
