Romanian parliamentary elections signal shift in political landscape
Romania's political arena was reshaped following the December 1, 2024 parliamentary elections. The governing Social Democratic Party (PSD) has retained its position as the leading force, winning 21.96% of the vote. This outcome secures PSD's parliamentary majority and ensures the continuation of its pro-European Union and pro-NATO policies. However, according to Romania Insider, the election also spotlighted the rise of the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), which captured 18.01% of the vote. AUR's surge signals a notable shift in Romania's political dynamics, reflecting a growing appetite for nationalist ideologies. This development poses a significant challenge to the traditional political establishment.
