The future for Romania

Romania straddles the threshold of the “two Europes”. Sovereigntist talking points carry real weight there, and yet most Romanians appear committed to European cooperation. So how likely is it that the country will fall into the camp of the EU’s “fifth column”, alongside Viktor Orbán’s Hungary or Robert Fico’s Slovakia? What exactly is at stake in this election? What role does the media play? What other fault lines divide Romanian society?

Voxeurop hosted a discussion of all this and likely more with journalists Anita Bernacchia, a regular Voxeurop contributor, and Claudiu Pop, author of our Southeast Europe press review, on Wednesday 7 May at 13:30 Paris/Brussels time (1230 BST) in an online event, in English, moderated by Catherine André and Voxeurop editor Gian-Paolo Acardo, both with AEJ France.
