Romanian President-elect Dan met with Prime Minister Tusk at the Prime Minister’s Office a week before the second round of the presidential election kicks off in Poland.
Two large marches in support of the two leading candidates – Rafał Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki – are being held in central Warsaw on Sunday.
Nicușor Dan, the pro-European mayor of Bucharest took part in the so-called ‘Great Patriots March’ in support of Civic Coalition candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.
The Romanian leader’s support for Trzaskowski, who is currently the Mayor of Warsaw, is above all a sign of support for European values.
During a speech at the march, Romanian President-elect Dan stressed that they share the same values and priorities. The President-elect also said that countries cannot develop without a united European Union and that he believes in a strong Poland in a strong European Union.
He added that, as President of Romania, he would work closely with Rafał Trzaskowski and Prime Minister Tusk.
On 13 May, the nationalist Romanian presidential candidate George Simion also came to Poland to support Law and Justice Party-backed candidate Karol Nawrocki, Trzaskowski’s opponent. A march was held in support of Nawrocki on the day in the Warsaw capital.
The second round of elections in Poland will take place on 1 June.
