Romania’s parliamentary elections have shown a significant shift to the right, with three far-right parties likely entering parliament, collectively securing over 30% of the votes. The ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD) won approximately 22.9%, but a coalition with nationalist forces could impact governance. The rise of ultranationalist sentiments and increasing voter support for extremist candidates, highlighted by the surprise success of independent right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu in the presidential election, raises concerns over democratic integrity amid potential foreign interference.
