Europe’s Super Sunday: What’s at stake in three key elections?
Manage episode 483076923 series 3635836
May 19th is Europe’s Super Sunday with three elections: Romania, Poland and Portugal, that could reshape each country’s national trajectory and reverberate across the continent.
Romania’s presidential runoff has exposed deep political divides, with nationalist candidate George Simion facing centrist Nicușor Dan. In Poland, the first round of the presidential race is testing the balance of power between the pro-European government and a conservative opposition, amid growing far-right influence. Meanwhile in Portugal, voters returned to the polls for the third time in three years, with the centre-right seeking to maintain power while resisting pressure from the surging far-right Chega party.
But the main question for this weekend is: is the center holding, or is the right wing moving in for the win?
Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.
