At a polling station in the capital, Bucharest, Simion appeared Sunday morning alongside Georgescu and told reporters: We are here with one mission only: the return to constitutional order, the return to democracy.
I have no other goal than first place for the Romanian people.
For his part, Georgescu called the vote rerun a fraud orchestrated by those who have made deceit the only state policy, but that he was there to acknowledge the power of democracy, the power of the vote that frightens the system, that terrifies the system.
Dan, a 55-year-old mathematician and former anti-corruption activist who founded the Save Romania Union party (USR) in 2016, is running on a pro-EU Honest Romania ticket.
After casting his ballot, Dan said he voted for hope and a new beginning for Romania.
I voted with realism, because Romania is going through a difficult time, he said.
Veteran centrist Antonescu, 65, who campaigned on retaining Romania’s pro-Western orientation, said Sunday morning that he voted for a united Romania, for a strong Romania, for a dignified Romania.
Victor Ponta, a former prime minister between 2012 and 2015, has also pushed a MAGA-style Romania First campaign and boasts of having close ties to the Trump administration.
Another hopeful, Elena Lasconi, came second in last year’s first round ballot and is participating in the rerun.
She has positioned herself as a staunchly pro-Western, anti-system candidate, railing against what she describes as a corrupt political class.
