With just hours before the end of Romania’s fiery presidential election campaign, French President Emmanuel Macron has found himself at the centre of the battle between hard-right candidate George Simion and his contender, independent centrist Nicusor Dan.
The leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), Simion chose France as the finish line for his election campaign, reaching out to the decisive votes of the Romanian diaspora but also declaring his aversion to Macron.
