Networks of Influence : Decoding foreign meddling in Romania's elections
Abstract
Both the Romanian Presidential election in 2019 and the Parliamentary elections in 2020 saw incumbents hold power - with President Klaus Iohannis winning a landslide in the second round of voting, and the Social Democratic Party (PSD) remaining the largest party in parliament. The Presidential and Parliamentary elections held in November and December 2024, however, saw a dramatic change of events. In a year synonymous with elections globally, in which incumbent candidates have not fared well, the initial results of Romania’s presidential election nevertheless provided a shock result - with the rise of Călin Georgescu from the sidelines.
