From his Bucharest-based campaign office George Simion head of the nationalist Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) voiced support for Donald Trumpʼs comeback — just as Romania prepares for its presidential vote
In a mid-week press meeting Simion pushed back against claims of being a Russian operative; making his stance clear about Romanian leadership: “I would like for Romanians to feel that the leaders are rule-makers not simply rule-takers“
The AUR party (founded roughly 5 years ago) stands on four main principles:
- Traditional family values
- National identity
- Religious faith
- Personal freedoms
His statements come at a time when Romanian politics faces a cross-roads moment — with the upcoming presidential race drawing significant attention from both local and international observers
