At the same time, far-right parties are showing a strong result, receiving about 30% of support in polls.
The votes of hundreds of thousands of Romanians living abroad play an important role in the election results. According to preliminary estimates, their support may go to the far-right or center-right Union for saving Romania parties, which will significantly affect the final distribution of forces.
