Elections in Poland, Romania, and Portugal Reshape Europe’s Political Landscape
Warsaw, Bucharest, Lisbon: Poland’s presidential election heads to a June 1 runoff, with a liberal mayor slightly outpacing a conservative historian. In Romania, a pro-West candidate defeated a populist-nationalist contender, signaling alignment with EU standards. Meanwhile, Portugal’s snap election sees the center-right party leading but short of a majority. Collectively, these results reflect a partial shift toward pro-EU stances, though populist undercurrents remain.
