  • Summary

  • This week we delve into the implications of the surprising first round results of Romania's presidential election, where an unexpected far-right candidate has risen to prominence. As Romanians prepare for the decisive runoff, we consider the possible implications of the election on Romania's stance towards the EU, NATO, and its Eastern European neighbours. We also reflect upon the influence of social media, particularly TikTok, on the election's outcome, highlighting how grassroots campaigns can shift political tides. With Romania facing economic challenges, political distrust, and regional tensions, we look at the issues driving voter sentiment. Equally important, and with specific topics for our prayers and intentions in mind, we seek to understand how what happens in Romania might influence political landscapes across Europe, especially with Germany's election in February firmly in our sight. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as Romanians consider their own and their country’s future, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that all Romanians going to the polls on December 8 will have wisdom and be moved by compassion for their fellow citizens in deciding where to cast their vote. Please join us in holding this.
