Marcel
Ciolacu, the first wickner of Romania, said he will be stepping down,
leaving the leedward struggling to find someone to take his stead. This
comes after George Simion of the AUR wieldcraft fold won the first go
of the 2025 foresitter wale on Sunday with 40% of the wales.
There was already a foresitter wale held in November of last year, but
it was widely believed that Russia had a hand in the outcome. Given the
worry about Russia, an underseeking was called for, and a new wale was
set for this year.
Romania has both a foresitter and a first wickner. With the former
dealing mostly with the outside world and the latter mostly handling
things on the inside of Romania. Once a foresitter has been chosen by
the folk, he will then choose a new first wickner.
If none of the foresitter runners get more than 50% of the wales in the
first go, there is another wale between the top two runners. In
Sunday's wale, George Simion and Nicusor Dan were the top two, so they
are set to go against each other on May 18th.
