Romania Election Day 2025: Romanian Presidential Candidate George Simion Escorted Out of Polling Station by Police
ROMANIA – As Romanians head to the polls for the second round of presidential elections, the Romanian presidential candidate George Simion was escorted out of a polling station in Mogosoaia after casting his vote.
He is the leader of the nationalist party Alliance for the Unification of Romanians (AUR) and front-runner for the previously held May election where no candidate was able to secure a majority of votes.
After leaving the premises, Georgescu told reporters that he voted “for a Christian Romania” and “for family values.”
The police demanded that politicians won’t be allowed to make public address and should leave the polling stations immediately.

The election is between far-right candidate George Simion, who won an unexpected, yet decisive victory, with 40.96% of the vote in the first round, and centrist, pro-Western mayor of the capital city, Nicusor Dan, who came second with 20.96%.
As Dan expanded his electoral base by reaching educated, urbanized segments of the society, with the help of major media outlets and European centrist leaders, opinion surveys predict a very tight race against Simion.
