Romania's Constitutional Court confirmed the results of the presidential runoff, where Nicusor Dan claimed victory over his far-right opponent, George Simion, with 53.6% of the votes. The court dismissed Simion's appeal alleging foreign interference. Dan expressed gratitude towards Romanian citizens and emphasized the responsibility of his new role, acknowledging the challenges ahead for a divided nation. Simion vowed to continue fighting despite the court's decision and accused it of executing a coup. The ruling marks a significant moment in Romania's political landscape, reflecting a shift towards pro-European leadership.
"I want to thank the Romanian people who turned out in great numbers for the May elections and, in doing so, gave legitimacy to the new president," Dan said at the court.
"A new chapter is beginning in Romania's recent and contemporary history. I want to assure Romanian citizens that I understand the responsibility of the mandate they have entrusted to me."
After his request for an annulment was rejected, Simion posted on Facebook that the court 'has continued its coup d'etat!' "},{
