De förfalskade opinionsundersökningar hade inget att hämta. Första omgången i det rumänska presidentvalet togs hem av en prorysk nationalist, natokritiker, EU-kritiker.
Kommer han att vinna? Kommer landets relation till EU att ändras? Hur kommer landets politik att påverkas. Hur påverkas medlemskapet i NATO?
Har man fått slaganfall i Bryssel nu? Meloni är nästan lika falsk som Åkesson men när hon vann var Ursula oroad. Men nu kanske äkta vara är på ingående?

Shock as pro-Russia independent wins first round of Romanian election
An ultranationalist, Moscow-friendly Nato critic is set to face a centre-right candidate in the runoff of Romania’s presidential elections after a shock first-round result that has upended the country’s politics and could jeopardise its support for Ukraine.
With 99.98% of votes counted, Călin Georgescu, an independent who has praised Vladimir Putin as “a man who loves his country”, was on 22.9%, with the reformist Elena Lasconi, of the Save Romania Union (USR), second on 19.17%.
The race is being watched well beyond Romania, which shares a 400-mile border with Ukraine and is seen by western allies as playing a key strategic role, hosting a major Nato military base, donating a Patriot air defence battery and providing a vital transit route for millions of tonnes of Ukrainian grain.
“Tonight, the Romanian people cried out for peace.

With nearly all ballots counted, official results released early Monday gave the most votes to Calin Georgescu, a dark-horse candidate without a party who had been widely dismissed as a fringe extremist. Mr. Georgescu has denounced Ukraine, NATO and the European Union, and has often sided with Russia, and he has praised Romania’s fascist leader during World War II.
