The front-runner in Romania's presidential election, George Simion, accuses the current government of attacking democracy and says he is the only candidate who hasn’t been tainted by holding power.

Romania's previous presidential election was cancelled over allegations of campaign fraud and Russian interference.

Eurosceptic George Simion won the first round of Romania’s presidential election re-run on Sunday, partial results showed, after a ballot seen as a test of the rise of Donald Trump-style nationalism in the European Union.
