Europe’s socialists are coming under fire for not backing Romania’s centrist candidate in the presidential election — even with the far right on track to take power in Bucharest.

That’s really decent from SD👍 EPP has for far too long gone far too far in their support of sister parties in Romania and Moldova. The voters should be respected - this time around.
Probably the Social Democratic Party (PSD) convinced the European ones not to back him up. It's a strategy where the interim government will take harsh decisions economically so that the communists, once back in power, and, together with the extremists, have whom to blame for the austerity.
It’s the far left world wide who make the ruling of far right parties possible. We call this the ‘horseshoe’, they have more in common then we like to believe.
The PSD is not a far left party, or even a left leaning party. It's very conservative and isolationist, apart from when it comes to bribing people for votes, then they are very liberal with public funds.

mush-brains assert the left and right are the same for some reason without citing any specific examples, but what are they actually aligned on?
bonus: consider what the center and right are aligned on
