George Simion

George-Nicolae Simion (born 21 September 1986) is a Romanian far-right politician and civic activist. He is the founder and chairman of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), the second largest party in both houses of parliament since 2024. He was a candidate in the 2025 Romanian presidential election.

Simion completed his high school studies at the Gheorghe Lazăr National College, before studying business administration at the University of Bucharest and then graduating from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University with a master's degree in history. Following his studies, he began campaigning for the unification of Moldova and Romania, and has since set up notable associations and events for this purpose, such as Action 2012, the Alliance for the Centenary and the Centenary March. As a result of his agitation campaigns, he has been prohibited from entering Moldova on several occasions in the past, and he is currently barred from entering the country as a persona non grata.
