Romania is turning the page on its unprecedented political crisis as it comes to terms with the firm victory of independent pro-Western Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan in Sunday’s tense presidential elections.
Dan made a dramatic comeback from the first round, overcoming hard-right candidate George Simion with 53,60 % of votes versus 46,40% in what former Romanian President Traian Basescu called “Romania’s choice between the West and the East”.
