George Simion, the hard-right leader of AUR, is recalibrating his nationalist platform to appeal to Romania's ethnic Hungarians ahead of the presidential elections. He seeks an alliance with Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán to gain support from the Hungarian community in Romania. Despite leading in polls, Simion's victory is uncertain. He aims to align with the MAGA movement in the US and emphasizes the importance of a united Europe of nations. Orbán supports Simion's approach, but backlash from UDMR's Kelemen Hunor highlights tensions regarding Simion's past actions against Hungarian rights in Romania.
