Romania in shock after far-right candidate wins first round of presidential election
Monday, 25 November 2024 () A far-right and little-known NATO critic has won the first round of Romania's presidential election after polls predicted he would win less than 10% of the vote.
There are 13 candidates in the running for Romania’s top job, including two clear favourites, but none of them are expected to gain an absolute majority, meaning the presidential race will go to a run-off on 8 December.
After polls closed, 9.4 million people - just over 52% of eligible voters - had cast their ballots, according to data from the Permanent Electoral Authority.

On November 24, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made a significant phone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin, pledging to further increase trade between Turkey and Russia. This call marked a continued shift in Turkey's diplomatic stance, as it looks to deepen ties with Russia despite being a member of NATO and an EU aspirant. The Kremlin and Erdogan’s office both confirmed that the two leaders discussed trade and other international matters, with a focus on expanding cooperation across various sectors. Erdogan emphasized Turkey’s commitment to boosting trade volume between the two nations.

Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraine’s NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trump’s plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution.

In a dramatic escalation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his second warning to the U.S. and NATO in just 24 hours, announcing the readiness of Russia’s powerful Oreshnik hypersonic missile system. The missile, a game-changer in modern warfare, is poised to be deployed in combat as a key strategic asset in Russia’s arsenal. With no current means of interception by any nation, the Oreshnik missile's devastating power and precision could redefine the global military balance. This latest development signals growing tensions between Russia and the West, as fears of a wider conflict, potentially spiralling into World War III, intensify.
