Three European nations hold crucial elections that could shift political dynamics in Europe.

European countries, Poland, Romania, and Portugal, are holding national elections on Sunday, potentially reshaping the political landscapes of Eastern and Southern Europe. In Poland, the presidential election first round is taking place, with the ruling coalition's candidate competing against an opposition-backed independent. In Romania, a presidential runoff is between a far-right nationalist and a pro-EU centrist. Portugal is having a snap general election after the prime minister lost a confidence vote. These elections have significant implications for Europe's direction, especially regarding EU unity and support for Ukraine.
