Who is Romania’s far-right presidential candidate George Simion?

George Simion, a nationalist and vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump, won Romania’s first-round presidential election redo by a landslide after capitalising on widespread anti-establishment sentiment. The 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, will face a pro-Western reformist in a May 18 runoff that could reshape the European Union and NATO member country’s geopolitical direction.
