Romanians are voting in a crucial presidential election, with candidates Nicușor Dan and George Simion neck and neck. High voter turnout, especially from the diaspora, indicates significant stakes for Romania's future direction regarding NATO and the EU. Dan advocates for a pro-European stance, while Simion, supported by ultranationalist Calin Georgescu, emphasizes cooperation with global powers. The election is marked by deep societal divisions and concerns over potential voter fraud, with Simion's supporters threatening protests if he loses.
