The 2024 European Parliament elections in Romania coincided with local elections. The results consolidated the position of the two parties in the current governing coalition and confirmed the pre-existing ascent of radical right parties in the country.

The chapter argues that although the local issues hindered the discussion of topics from a European perspective during the campaign, the EP electoral campaign also influenced the local elections, enhancing the electoral performance of the ‘anti-globalist’ camp.
