"News of the death of European values in Romania was greatly exaggerated, by our enemies, anonymously, via foreign-owned social media networks.

Romanians won this battle, but the EU must work harder on regulation and online defence to ensure we keep winning this virtual war."

Gabriellius Landsbergis,
Former Foreign Minister,
Lithuania.

Dear media/pundits.

No, the Romanian presidential election result was not a shock victory.

Also, no, the far right candidate was never a sure favourite to win.

As every Romanian commentator has been saying for the last two weeks, the election would be close, but the far right candidate would almost surely lose if the turnout was high enough. The turnout was high enough.

Sorry if this narrative isn't dramatic enough to sell stuff.

In Romania, with 95% of the votes counted in the presidential election, centrist Nicusor Dan is set to comfortably beat far right George Simion by a fair distance.

It's yet another defeat for the Putin backed Nazis in Europe.

In Romania, with 70% of the votes counted in the presidential election, centrist Nicusor Dan is comfortably ahead of far right George Simion.

Keep everything crossed.
