Romania's Far-Right AUR Leads Polls

Romania's Far-Right AUR Leads Polls

In Romania, a recent poll shows that the far-right party AUR is very popular, with 40.9% of people supporting them.

This is the highest support for a far-right party in over 30 years.

The current government, which is pro-European, has much less support.

AUR is against helping Ukraine with military aid and is critical of the European Union.

The government has been raising taxes and cutting spending to fix the country's big budget problem, which has made some people unhappy and more supportive of AUR.

The next election is not until 2028.
