Description

In this episode of The Lowdown, Máté Holler delves into Romania’s deepening political crisis, where a canceled election, far-right surges, and foreign interference have shaken the country’s democratic foundations. Sorin Ioniță, director of the Think Tank, Expert Forum, and a seasoned political commentator, joins to unpack the turmoil - from Kremlin-backed disinformation to unexpected influence from Washington. They explore Romania’s fragile political landscape, the rise of extremist candidates, and the stakes of the rescheduled May 2024 presidential election in a country at the crossroads of European security and democratic resilience.
