Călin Georgescu, an independent candidate in Romania’s presidential election, won an unexpected first-round victory earlier this week, with 22.94% of the vote.
The second-place candidate took 19.18% of the vote. The second round of voting is set for December 8.
His appeal seems to stem from combining social conservatism with economic populism, focusing on domestic issues rather than international commitments. He positioned himself as a voice for those who feel they don’t matter, advocating for Romania's interests over what he sees as subservience to the EU and NATO, while promising to maintain existing obligations to these organizations.
And in a video published after his first-round win, he took aim at globalists who seek to destroy Christianity:
We are lucky to be still able to bow in front of these treasures. Just look what is happening to others. Today, they are fighting against God, but the globalists don’t understand that God can’t be defeated, and He can’t be replaced. Today, it’s basically a spiritual crisis, it’s the battle of Archangel Michael against Satan. It’s certain that they want to eliminate Christianity from the world. We call for Christian awareness. We have unlimited faith in our ancient Church, we have unlimited faith in Jesus Christ and in our nation.
