Centrist Victories in Romania & Poland Slow Hard-Right Momentum

In Romania, a centrist named Nicusor Dan won the presidential election, which was a surprise.

He beat George Simion, who had different views.

Dan got a lot of votes because many people came out to vote.

In Poland, the election results were more mixed, but a liberal candidate, Rafal Trzaskowski, is in the lead, though it is very close.

These elections stopped, or slowed down, the rise of some hard-right groups.

This made some European leaders happy.
