So, after its leader George Simion was stopped at the border from entering Moldova, the Romanian AUR has decided in a publicity stunt to also run in Moldova. They are running on a committedly pro-unionist platform and are supported by the once-governing Liberal Party, which is now only a shadow of its former self. However, they have not achieved the unification of all unionist forces around them, with some parties, most importantly PUN, still running on their own. Some claim that AUR, which is a party with connections in Russia, is running with the only goal of taking votes away from Action&Solidarity, thus helping Dodon win. However, the latest iData poll gives them a pretty good score -
Action and Solidarity - 39.1%
Socialists and Communists - 33.4%
Sor Party - 10.1%
Renato Usatii Alliance (still basically Our Party) - 4.9%
Alliance for the Unity of Romanians - 4.8%
Dignity and Truth - 3.5%
With the election coming in a month, I will soon write some profiles on the biggest parties running.
Nice result of AUR, I am kinda surprised.
