The year 2025 was significant for Romanian politics, marked by the presidential elections won by Nicușor Dan after a controversial annulment of the first round in 2024. Ilie Bolojan took over the government, implementing fiscal measures to reduce state spending. The year also saw the passing of Ion Iliescu, Romania's first post-communist president. Following the Constitutional Court's decision to annul the initial presidential election, a new vote was held in May 2025, where Dan emerged victorious against George Simion. The elections had immediate effects on financial markets, prompting investor reactions. Dan's victory was acknowledged by international leaders, and he was sworn in as president on May 26, 2025, marking a shift in Romania's political landscape.
