In a secluded compound north of Bucharest, Calin Georgescu, the leading candidate in Romania's presidential race, emphasizes the importance of maintaining Western alliances that prioritize the sovereignty of the country. Despite being a surprise front-runner, Georgescu's platform centers on promoting Romania-first policies to achieve self-reliance in critical areas like energy, food, and water.
If elected, Georgescu aims to address pressing issues such as high poverty rates, organized crime, and drug use in schools, which he describes as a significant concern. He has expressed admiration for U.S. President Donald Trump, citing a shared commitment to prioritizing national interests.
