Romania, a member of the European Union, will hold local, presidential, parliamentary and European elections next year - making 2024 a crucial time for the country and for Europe, as the far-right is expected to continue gaining ground.
According to the opinion poll - which was commissioned by Romanian news website News.ro and conducted among a sample of 1,100 people between 23 October and 2 November - 29.5% of Romanians would vote for Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu's PSD and 18.4% for the Liberals in the parliamentary elections next year.
"These elections are important for the political situation in Romania as well as for the entire European Union, where the far-right has risen in popularity in many member states like Sweden, Slovakia and now the Netherlands," Fernando Casal Bertoa, an associate professor in Comparative Politics at the University of Nottingham, told Euronews.
