BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanians vote in the first round of a presidential election on Sunday, with worries about the cost of living likely to earn radical right leader George Simion, who opposes military aid to Ukraine, a shot at victory.
European Union and NATO state Romania holds a run-off ballot on Dec. 8, to replace outgoing two-time president and staunch Ukraine ally Klaus Iohannis, with a parliamentary election sandwiched in between, on Dec. 1.
