BUCHAREST/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Calin Georgescu, who has stunned Romania and its European allies by leading the first round of the eastern European country's presidential election, is a far-right, self-styled outsider critical of NATO and of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Georgescu led the first round of voting with 22.9%, ahead of opposition centre-right candidate Elena Lasconi with 19.2%, and will thus compete in the run-off on Dec. 8.
