On August 23, 2023, during a meeting with the Israeli ambassador in Bucharest, George Simion—the leader of AUR (the far-right Romanian party Alliance for the Union of Romanians)—personally and “firmly” condemned antisemitism.

President Nicușor Dan, 55, officially begins his term at the Cotroceni Palace today. He entered the race as a second- or even third-tier candidate, clawed his way forward step by step during the campaign, barely made it into the second round, and ultimately triumphed—by a large margin—against the anti-European candidate George Simion (leader of the […]

We’ve already listed the reasons behind George Simion’s defeat in the May 18 election, where he lost to Nicușor Dan despite seemingly holding all the cards. But one less-discussed aspect deserves a closer look: the failure to transplant MAGA ideology into Romania. Simion clearly benefited from consultants affiliated with former U.S. President Donald Trump—some openly, […]

On Sunday, Romania stood its ground. The presidential vote was crucial not only for Romanians, but also for Europe and the Trump Administration. Russia lost its ally in Bucharest, and the transplant of MAGA ideology to Romania has failed. The EU avoided an existential crisis. Let’s not forget: George Simion (leader of the far-right AUR […]

Nicușor Dan (independent centrist politician and incumbent Mayor of Bucharest) won the 2025 Romanian presidential election decisively over George Simion (leader of the far-right party AUR – Alliance for the Union of Romanians), amid an unprecedented voter turnout both in the country and abroad.

A debate held two days ago on Russia’s hybrid war, attended by a military official from Vienna and broadcast on one of Austria’s national public radio stations—ÖRF—also spotlighted the connections between Calin Georgescu (former Romanian presidential candidate, November 2024) and Elena Vladimirovna Shmelova (a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his 2018 campaign […]

Seven former U.S. ambassadors to Romania have signed, in an unprecedented move, a joint letter sent to G4Media.ro a week ahead of Romania’s May 18 presidential election, warning that Russia is once again on the offensive and that Romania’s membership in the European Union and alliance with the United States are at risk. „If Romania […]

The final results of Sunday’s vote on May 4 leave no doubt: the vote for the so-called sovereigntists exceeds 50% (a reference to George Simion and Victor Ponta). An independent candidate like Nicușor Dan—even with support from the USR (Save Romania Union, a progressive opposition party)—received more votes than Crin Antonescu (former leader of the […]

Censorship officially returns to Romania after 35 years. Politically unaffiliated individuals—some well-known, such as Cristi Danileț (a former judge and vocal advocate for judicial reform), and Adrian Papahagi (a university professor and conservative intellectual)—as well as others less known, are being censored daily by the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) based on a completely erroneous interpretation […]

A truck company owner with MAGA affiliations, introduced as Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu’s emissary to the United States, has cast doubt over Romania’s entire foreign policy direction.

Only two other countries—Argentina in 2001 and Uruguay in 2003—have been fully removed from the program in the past. However, the […]

The suspension of the Visa Waiver program in Romania’s case is currently being presented—both by the American side and the authorities in Bucharest—as a decision motivated by the new US migration policy, as merely a program review, essentially a technicality. Romanian tourists were supposed to be able to enter the US without a visa starting […]
