Supporters of radical nationalist George Simion gathered in Sarmizegetusa, Romania, to celebrate traditional culture ahead of the presidential elections. Simion, who has a strong chance of winning, advocates for national pride, cultural preservation, and resistance against Brussels' influence. Critics fear his policies could mirror Hungary's Viktor Orbán, undermining democracy.

Simion's opponent, Nicusor Dan, offers an alternative as an anti-corruption activist. Polls show a tight race between the two, reflecting Romania's political divide.
