Romanian leaders George Simion (AUR) and Anamaria Gavrilă (POT) have announced their candidacies for Romania’s 2025 presidential election following the invalidation of Călin Georgescu’s bid. The two politicians stated that only one of them would remain in the race after their candidacies are officially validated.
Simion, the leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), urged supporters on Facebook to mobilize quickly to collect the necessary signatures. He emphasized that their movement, which he described as “sovereignist,” would continue with Georgescu’s approval, Euronews Romania reported.
Meanwhile, Gavrilă, the head of the nationalist Party of Young People (POT), echoed the same message, calling on supporters to rally behind their campaign.
