Hard-right nationalist George Simion could win Romania’s presidential election run-off on Sunday – a vote being held five months after the original election was annulled.

The leader of the Romanian opposition party Alliance for the Unification of Romanians (AUR), George Simion, admitted defeat in the presidential election. He stated this in his video message on the page in the social network.

Eurosceptic hard-right lawmaker George Simion could be elected Romania's president on Sunday, riding a wave of popular anger over living costs, corruption and the cancellation of a vote last year that another far-right contender had looked set to win.
