Big challenges are waiting for the new president of divided Romania

Imagine a president named Nicky.

The Romanians are just voting: a mathematician who is a bit talking to everyone’s first name, nicusor – or nicusor – or a gentle.

Several hours after the winning victory in the elections on Monday, the new president took his daughter from school as usual. He promised to change anything to his children.

But it seemed very different this morning for Romania.

Since 2020, Nicusor became the Mayor of Bucharest, but so far it was known as little as the capital. Therefore, its choice is seen as an act of protest to the former political guards that governs Romania in three decades.

But this was the least extreme choice for change.

In the second round, Dan’s opponent George Simion is a difficult nationalist and euroseptic regularly buried public insults.

He also claims part of Ukraine and all Moldova, because he was banned from two neighboring countries.

Simion won the first round with 41%, but dan was arrested for the second time, and then seized.

“This time, the fear managed to defeat the anger,” the political scientist describes how Radu Magdin’s turn and indicate an important increase in activity.

“Obviously, many people are angry in Romania and want to see radical change. But at the same time, we saw the mass mobilization of the middle class who fears the country could be withdrawn.

“If Simon and friends come to power, it was a fear of what could happen.”

I got acquainted with a large number of layers in recent days.

When they came out to vote on Sunday, there was a color crowd in the polling station to greet him. Some brought Romanian flags in patterned national costumes and others.

They tended to talk about god and “traditional values” that the “traditional values” represented by the simion. Two men, the EU said they are prioritized to prevent the “accusation” of the same-sex marriage in Romania.

Other voters are involved in the simion’s “Romanian first” rhetoric and a better life promises.

“Nothing was done for us, people who worked,” said Liliana told me this week after the Bucharest Sunday stall was covered with apart.

He and his husband voted the simion by thinking that “will not corrupt.”

Thus disappointed when the results came.

“I don’t think it is able to work. But what can we do if people do not want change and progress?” Liliana moved.

“I think that children returned to the villages and convinced their parents against the string. They provided them for voice.”

George Simion itself is a patriotic and “the man of my people.” But as the campaign was developed, it made a mistake.

Outside the market, to feed the pigeons with their children, Diana planned to vote for simions until she saw a video from Paris before the elections.

The simion, trying to speak French, described the President Macronu as “dictator trends” and said the country was managed by Ayatollahs.

“It was not good to do it, go there and to talk to the French people so rough,” Diana said. “I changed me my voice.”

Analytical Radu Magdin, other mistakes, including aggressive blog posts and the moment of the icken’s opponent, call Dan, “autistic, poor guy”.

“In addition, he escaped from a public discussion, instead of the Pan-European radical right,” Magdin said in Poland, France and Italy before the voting.

“I would say that there are many people who don’t really appreciate it.”

Choosing from for many novels was also a shot against Moscow’s interding.

With the celebrations of the election prospectus last night, along with shouting the name and cheerfulness of the new president, people spoke to disobedience: “Russia, not forgotten. Romania is not yours!”

In November, Russia referred to the evidence that they intervened in Russia in Russia, the theorist of the right conspiracy, Calin Georgescu.

When you come from anywhere to win in the first round Voting was canceled.

This weekend was again runaway, Georgescu was prohibited and simion in its place. The two were often seen side by side, even on the voting day.

But once Georgescu’s open sympathy of Russia once – once told me that Vladimir Putin was amazed – a turn for many voters.

Nicusor did not win because it was not just the horn.

Voters liked that in Europe stopped for a strong future for a future.

When we covered the campaign headquarters last night, he brought many EU flags to wait for him to win. There was a relief as an alarm.

Prior to the election, young voters, when Simon wins, said they planned radical actions.

“Thus, many friends say that they will leave Romania, because our values ​​do not match it in general,” Politics told me in the formation of Asgianam. “I feel in one or two years that will completely confuse our chances to stay in the EU.”

In contrast, Dan laid relations with Europe in the center of the campaign.

“Europe is better for young people and Romania – because more EU funds, more development,” Another young voter, Petrosanu approved.

“Also the smartest boy since the Nicusor Revolution. He knows how to do things.”

In the end, Dan’s victory was stressed. However, millions of Romanian voters chose different values ​​in a different way. When hoping for the ‘change’ candidate, the difficulties are great and patience can be limited.

“In my opinion, this is the last chance to win an election to save Europe for the main political classroom,” said Radu Magdin.

George Simion is a total of 38 and no place; The Nationalist Aur Party is strong in parliament.

“Next time, if these people do their work,” Bye Bye “says. “The next time it may be like someone like this.”
