What’s going wrong in Romania?

chrstoerup.bsky.social•2 days ago

Must be the Russians again. Pressure should be put on Romania to repeat the elections. Too many young voters drank too much vodka at the Black Sea coast during their first of May vacation.

So the people want to go back to the Ceaușescu era? Guess they shot and killed him and his wife for nothing if today Romania even entertains a hard right leader .

rebelmobster.bsky.social•2 days ago

Pretty much. Considering the massive brain drain of 30 years. The remaining aged population reminisce their youth and the good times (none of the bad). And vote for populists who use the old Ceausescu’s nationalist language. Or for the dynasties of Securitate who ran Romania for the last 30 years.

Well, I’m not sure the Romulans you’re talking about are *that hard-right. Mostly expansionists.

Sad day for humanity

lettepete.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is deeply concerning. How can we best support grassroots movements fighting for democracy and equality in Romania right now?

wizardsnuggles.bsky.social•2 days ago

You can do better, Romania! Don't give in to Dark Side.

delya123.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't woory we won't, a democratic candidate will win in the second round 😎

wizardsnuggles.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm rooting for you all 🤞✌️

agheorghe.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's no chance the democratic candidate will win. It'll be Dan against the extremist pro Russian, Simion. A lot of votes from Antonescu and Ponta will go to Simion.

delya123.bsky.social•2 days ago

I dissagree the votes from Antonescu, most of them will go to Nicusor Dan, also the ones from Lasconi and also half of Pontas, but btw we still dunno wether it will be Dan or Antonescu so...

agheorghe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hope you've your dual citizenship or otherwise get ready to apply for visa (if you're outside Romania but within the EU) in the not so distant future.

delya123.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am not outside of Romania but probably I will literally move out of here, I can't with these idiots, I can't live in dictatorship, no way

annebruijne.bsky.social•2 days ago

I really hope so.

gvent.bsky.social•2 days ago

Shame!

karmalover-77.bsky.social•2 days ago

No No No …. So disappointing, after the elections in Canada and Australia there seemed to be a growing momentum to reject far right extremism, so disappointed Romanians have voted this way 🙏🏻 for the second round

agheorghe.bsky.social•2 days ago

What did you expect after abandoning the country to the communists for half a century? That after the destruction and corruption it'll be a beacon of democracy?

virhilius.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everything depends on who's joining him in the 2nd round. 📿

jtsreborn.bsky.social•2 days ago

it’s the first round, it was very likely to happen

tazareen.bsky.social•2 days ago

Putin and Musk probably hacked the election

chrstoerup.bsky.social•2 days ago

Them or the Legionaries, or very dark people associated with the Church 😳 + nostalgic neo-communists and the much dreaded Manele Influencers 😳😳😳

gregorybd.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nooo!

badlittlegirl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Romanians will regret voting for this right wing demon.

sarronco.bsky.social•2 days ago

They will kick him out next round

delya123.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, but the democratic vote was split between 3 candidates, this guy Simion who's absolutely awful and stupid af will only get 40-43% in the seccond round ,so there's high hope a democratic candidate will win it the end 💪

boogjesman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ffs Romania. Have you learned nothing?

atheistjane234.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some of us have, some of us haven't. I genuinely didn't think that so many didn't learn anything. But I'm not losing hope just yet, can't afford to lose it.
