The candidate seems to be more of a communist than anything[1], he wants 51% state control of all large corporations operating in Romania. Labelling him as right-wing is asinine. Actual communist parties are supporting him. Perhaps if people wouldn't demonise any anti-globalist public figure as "far right" we wouldn't have ended with this clown of a candidate. People haven't voted for him as a person, he was totally unknown as of a couple of weeks ago, they've voted against the status quo, and more importantly they voted against the establishment that regulates what constitutes acceptable opinion.

While this can be viewed as a left-wing policy, it can also be a form of economic nationalism.
As far as I understand, he gets classified as far right [1], because of his ultranationalist and ultraconservative views.
The parties that declared support for him [2][3][4], after the first election round, have similar views.
