The surprise raise of the far-right, pro-Russian candidate Calin Georgescu in presidential elections sent Romanian society into a spiral of panic, anger and confusion ahead of key parliamentary elections scheduled Sunday. Georgescu (62), running as independent, came from nowhere to win the first round of presidential elections, with some 23% of the votes. He was followed by centrist, progressist Save Romania Union (USR) candidate Elena Lasconi and incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, a Social Democrat (PSD), both at 19%. The first two are expected to face voters again in a runoff, Dec. 8.
