Tik-Tok President: As the victory of the far-right Georghesk can change the course of Romania and what to wait for Ukraine

Romania has long remained a unique island of stability among the turbulent political realities of its neighbors. A year ago, we wrote a Podkast about Romanian-Ukrainian relations, where we called it “a quiet but reliable ally” Kiev. But now the situation has changed – when in the first round of the presidential election in November last year the pro -Russian farm Candidate Cellene Georgescu was won.

Then the Constitutional Court overturned the election results. But the new planned for May – and the current support rating of Georgescu reaches more than 50% – with a large break from competitors. And this is despite the fact that Georgescu did not conduct a real election campaign, there is no political party or organization behind it, and it was hardly reported by traditional media. But in a month after the election, he has already remembered radical statements, such as that “Ukraine is a fictional state”, the territory of which will be separated by neighbors.

The probable coming to power, Georgessko, who had a distrust of two traditional parties, which constantly occupied power in Romania-Social Democrats and National Liberals. He also gave a great boust of popularity to the right forces and in the parliamentary elections. What does this mean for the country’s further course? And will it mean that Ukraine has another problematic neighbor in Ukraine? We talked about it in the new episode of Podcast “The World of Sweet” with Sergey Gerasimchuk, Deputy Executive Director of the Ukrainian Prism of Foreign Policy.
