Bucharest Mayor Wins Opposition Party’s Support for Romania Vote

Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan clinched the backing of a Romanian opposition party for next month’s presidential election, in a boost for the pro-European candidate who’s seen as having the best shot against the poll-leading nationalist politician.

The Save Romania Union opposition group has endorsed Dan, an independent, over its own leader, Elena Lasconi, deputy party leader Dominic Fritz told reporters on Wednesday.
