So yesterday the first round of the presidential election took place in our country (2 rounds in total, next one on 8 Dec). Everyone was expecting something but no one expected what ended up happening: an independent candidate who was virtually unknown as recent as 2 weeks ago, Călin Georgescu, won 1st place. For reference: it’s as if an unknown third party candidate won the US presidential election against Kamala and Trump. Călin beat even Marcel Ciolacu, current prime minister and part of PSD, the party which has dominated Romania since the fall of communist (1989).
im glad yall get two rounds to figure it out!! hoping the guy is able to get buried back into the unknown… social media is a scary, secretive place. do you know a lot of people personally who may have voted for him or do people prefer not to talk about politics?
I don’t know anyone who voted for him. The traditional ones I know voted for Simion, a milder and more well known popular version of this guy. That’s why this election seems like fraud and interference so much.
