Romanians would react “very negatively” if Brussels tries to block nationalist candidate George Simion from winning the elections, Dr. George Szamuely warned. “Simion [has] absolutely identified himself with [Calin] Georgescu, who clearly, in the eyes of Romanians, was unjustly robbed of the presidency,” Szamuely notes, adding that with Simion now leading at 41%, it would be extremely difficult for the EU to push him aside.
