A WIN discussion December 2024. Listen to the discussion HERE.

This tension peaked during the recent elections of 2024, when the Constitutional Court invalidated the presidential run-off – a highly controversial decision which was saluted by one half of the country and condemned by the other. This week Amalia Epure of Romania’s Socialist Action Group walked us through the highlights of this unprecedented election and placed it into the broader context of Romanian political trends.
