罗马尼亚总统选举第一轮投票结果令人震惊,极右翼亲俄候选人卡林·乔治斯库得票率领先,引发了对罗马尼亚未来政治走向以及其与欧盟、北约关系的担忧。乔治斯库的崛起出乎意料,他的竞选纲领强调减少对进口的依赖,支持农民,增加国内粮食和能源生产,并对北约和欧盟持批评态度,甚至暗示美国军工复合体操纵了俄乌战争的背景。这一结果被认为是罗马尼亚后共产主义政治史上最大的意外之一,两大主要政党的领导人都被淘汰。由于没有候选人获得超过50%的选票,选举将进入第二轮投票,乔治斯库将与来自中右翼政党的埃琳娜·拉斯科恩对决。与此同时,一周后还将举行议会选举,这将对未来的政府和总理产生影响。乔治斯库的胜利对罗马尼亚的未来以及其在国际事务中的角色具有重大意义,尤其是在其与俄罗斯和乌克兰接壤的背景下。 INC5会议旨在制定一项具有国际法律约束力的文书,以解决塑料污染问题,来自近180个国家/地区的代表以及来自民间社会、环保组织和私营部门的代表参加了此次会议。会议上,各方在如何达成协议方面存在分歧,包括投票方式和最终文本内容,关于塑料生产的讨论是会议的关键议题,一些国家对减少塑料生产持抵制态度。尽管存在分歧,与会代表仍表达了达成最终协议的意愿,并认识到此次会议具有历史意义。
