Romanian President Nicusor Dan won a controversial election re-run in May after the annulment of a Euroskeptic candidate's win

Romanian President Nicursor Dan was subjected to boos and accusations of treason for his support of Ukraine while attending an anniversary event on Friday.

Dozens of protesters voiced their anger as Dan arrived at the National Theater in the city of Iasi to take part in a historical commemoration, local broadcaster Digi24 reported on Friday.

A video shows Dan stepping out of his car and waving at the protesters, who chanted "Shame!" and "Go to Ukraine!"

According to the outlet, the jeering resumed after the event when the president left the building.

Dan, a pro-EU politician, came to power in a controversial election re-run earlier this year, after the initial victory of conservative candidate Calin Georgescu - an outspoken critic of NATO and Western weapons shipments to Ukraine - was annulled. Georgescu was later barred from the race and faces allegations of plotting a coup.

Dan has pledged to continue aid to Ukraine. Romania has already allocated 487 million ($566 million) to Kiev, mostly in military assistance, since the conflict escalated in 2022, according to Germany's Kiel Institute.

Moscow has condemned the Western weapons deliveries, arguing that they only serve to prolong the conflict and make Kiev's backers a party to the conflict.
