How accurate is this poll? This is extremely grim. The West pulled Romania out of extreme poverty, and they are willing to stab the West in the back by overwhelmingly backing an extremely pro-Russia lunatic at a critical moment. Sometimes, I think that NATO expansion was indeed a mistake. Countries like Romania and Hungary greatly profited from the West, but now they are turning their backs on the West because they want some exotic nationalism/fascism. Spoiled brats. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian people are desperately fighting to be part of the West to have a brighter future, but they will never be accepted.

the result of 45 years of communism, and 35 years of cleptocracy: 80 years of promoting a lack of education and culture combined with probably one of the most misogynistic society in europe.

I’m pretty sure that Romania’s history has a lot to do with that, but what’s wrong with the young people? Why would they vote for this guy? It’s beyond comprehension for me. It doesn’t make any sense to me.

Just to put this out there: polls predicted Kamala Harris to win. I was in the US during their election and I went to bed convinced she was going to win. We all know the rest.

If history teaches us something, is not to pay attention to the polls. The results are usually much worse then they predict.

Guys guys c’mon… the poll is definitely wrong. Guys, liberal and moderate Romanians will get scared and go vote in droves for the better guy, and the crazy one loses… Romania would never elect the crazy one, that wouldn’t happen… Georgescu will lose and everything will be good, don’t worry

I mean it’s not the only reason this is happening but when we were venting here for years that Europe is taking the piss out of our Schengen application preferring to side with member states Austria and Netherlands internal politics circle jerk and keep 30 million people outside their rights for shits and giggles, we told you what was going to happen. Hope it was worth it.
Ironically, this will make Austrians and Dutch people less safe. (as well as us Romanians).

I can’t say that I understand what’s going on across the Western world, but it’s something very serious and risks radically altering our way of life. Reddit is clearly a bubble with the overwhelming majority expressing shock and disdain for candidates like him, but yet he’s likely to win a majority of the vote in Romania.
We need to wake the hell up and take serious action to address what’s going on (and no, I don’t know what the solutions are). How can so many people fall for an unhinged lunatic like Georgescu? Obviously enough people see the current system as so disgusting and unrepresentative that they’d throw it all away for conspiracy theories and authoritarianism.
Don’t just blame propaganda from Russia (which does play a role). That propaganda exploits our issues, it doesn’t cause them. What the hell are we witnessing?

It’s everyone’s duty here in Romania to protect their homes, their beliefs, their values and so on. I’m sure that we can win this and that we can defend our democracy!
Even if we lose the presidential election, we will fight from the opposition. I trust my fellow Romanians!
Love EU and RO!

Many here in Romania are horrified by this. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter as nationalism, lack of education, ignorance, extremist views have been present in our society for quite some time, were never really addressed, and have snowballed into an unstoppable pile of shit. These tendencies have found a voice that manages to play on the (unfounded) economic and political fears of many while giving them a sense of superiority.
Since hearing the results I kept thinking what we could have done in order to avoid getting here. A focus on quality education would have surely helped but that is much easier said than done. It requires many experienced, modern teachers and we lacked those. I also think that stemming social media might have diminished the problem. Most social media, whether it is Reddit, FB, or TikTok now only spreads discontent and reinforces unrealistic expectations.
Hope other countries will find a way to stem this tide.

Romanian here – CURS is a biased polling institute, known to have connection with the most corrupt
party in Romania (PSD – which hasn’t yet declared its support to Lasconi, although they’re theoretically on NATO/EUs side).
The threat is real but I wouldn’t personally trust this poll.

Many feel pleased if “he makes the ‘elites’ mad” (no matter how, obviously). Medial attention helps in such settings… And then they start identifying with him, feeling insulted for being criticized for voting for him. And then the line is drawn, and it’s us vs them, and our leader and so on.
But I just thought that Romania is more anti-Russian…
