Romania's Election: AUR Leader Claims Victory Despite Exit Poll Results

Romania's Presidential Election: George Simion's Reaction and Claims of Victory Romania held its presidential elections on May 18, 2025. Exit polls indicate a decisive victory for Nicusor Dan, with 54.9% of the vote. However, George Simion, the leader of the AUR party, delivered a speech claiming victory for himself, despite receiving 45.1% according to the exit polls. The video shows Simion addressing a crowd of supporters at what appears to be his campaign headquarters. The atmosphere is one of celebration, with supporters cheering and waving flags. "We are the clear winners of this election," Simion declares in the video. He goes on to claim that his parallel vote count will reveal evidence of potential fraud. This statement is noteworthy given the significant difference between his claimed victory and the exit poll results. The video serves as a visual record of this post-election event, offering a contrasting perspective to the official exit poll results. The discrepancy between Simion's claims and the exit polls highlights the importance of verifying election results through official channels. The election results underscore the dynamic and often contested nature of Romanian politics.
