Hungary led this parade several years ago.
Romania joins in.*
Romania’s prime minister will resign on Monday after a conservative opposition leader who aligned himself with Donald Trump scored a resounding first-round victory in the Black Sea nation’s presidential election.
Bloomberg reports, that Marcel Ciolacu informed coalition partners of the decision to submit his resignation in a meeting Monday in Bucharest.... The government will be led by an interim premier until coalition parties choose Ciolacu’s successor. There are no current plans for an early election.
The prime minister’s decision was a response to the electoral defeat of the coalition’s preferred candidate in Sunday’s first-round contest, in which George Simion of the ultranationalist Alliance for the Union of Romanians secured more than 40%.
This follows the very controversial banning of the last nationalist candidate--who also crushed the opposition in the last round of elections.
Simion benefitted from the corruption and incompetence of the major parties. That's familiar to citizens of the US.
*This is a Meloni-type, not a Trump-type.
