Thousands of people gathered in Romania’s capital on Friday for a pro-European Union march, a week before the final vote of a closely watched presidential election that pits a hard-right nationalist front-runner against the capital’s pro-EU mayor.
According to Associated Press marchers converged in Bucharest in front of the government building, where many waved the blue and yellow flag of the EU.
Many chanted slogans such as “We are in Europe” and “Bucharest is not Budapest,” referring to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a member but also a longtime critic of the EU.
A communist country until 1989, Romania joined the EU in 2007.
But last year it was plunged into its worst political crisis in decades when a top court voided the previous election in which the far-right outsider Calin Georgescu topped the first round, following allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference, which Moscow has denied.
The rally was held nearly a week after the first round of a presidential election redo that saw hard-right nationalist George Simion, 38, emerge as the frontrunner.
In second place was 55-year-old incumbent Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan.
A median of polls ahead of the runoff suggests Simion holds a lead in the vote, which will be held between the two staunchly anti-establishment candidates on May 18.
Observers have warned that the outcome could reshape the EU and NATO member country’s geopolitical direction.
After reaching second place on Sunday night, Dan called the final vote a choice “between a pro-Western direction for Romania and an anti-Western one.”
Friday’s rally underscored growing divisions in Romania ahead of the pivotal runoff.
Although Simion and Dan are ideological opposites, they both made their political careers railing against Romania’s old political class, which has fallen out of favor as strong anti-establishment sentiment among voters grips the country.
