Oggi (18 maggio) I cittadini di 🇷🇴 Romania vanno ai sondaggi per votare nel secondo turno delle elezioni presidenziali, che saranno decise tra due principali contendenti del Primo round:
-
George Simion di destra ORO Party (41% nel 1 ° round)
-
Nicușo DanSindaco liberale di Bucarest (21%)
È interessante notare che, nonostante il grande vantaggio di Simion, i sondaggi sembrano essere piuttosto legati (entrambi hanno il 48-52%). Tuttavia, questi si basano solo sugli elettori in Romania, e i suoi voti della diaspora (generalmente appoggiati alla Simion) che potrebbero ribaltare le scale. Tuttavia, il risultato è aperto.
Le stazioni elettorali chiuderanno le 21:00 ora locale.

I will be rooting for Dan the Man! Go defeat that russian puppet!
Hope for the best
One poll said Dan has 48.7 and the russian muppet has 47.8. The rest are no vote or undecided. This poll includes Diaspora. So snything can happen, although I am pessimistic and fully prepared to leave this country in at most 2 years.
*Polling stations will close on* *~~22:00~~* ***21:00*** *local time.*
fixed.
Russians had two top candidates this time
the first one was caught and removed by the courts,
Russians immediately put up another candidate
There are several reasons Russians are running their candidates – weapons transit to Ukraine goes through Romania, Romania has a solid army 100k soldiers etc
Turnout seems like it will be above 60% and maybe even 65%.
[7:00-8:00] 318,964 to 390,895 (+22.55%)
[8:00-9:00] 442,450 to 524,535 (+18.55%)
Diaspora: 402,640 to 745,849 (+85.28%)
If the trend continues that’s over 12million votes (~66%). However, 1.8million diaspora votes cast would be extraordinarily high.
As someone from Romania, this scares the shit out of me. I feel like i’ve aged 5 years in the past 2 weeks. If Simion wins our country is seriously fucked.
We are entering the endgame
There has been quite a shift in the last week, with simion essentially going on hide refusing to participate to any public debate and saying some wild stuff, like naming macron a dictator on french tv or declaring nd an autist and then some menacing remarks to people not voting for him, that he will catch them one by one.
However some public people that previously was all for simion and georgescu now seemed supporting nd, like prominent figures in the gipsy community (such as a manele singer, dani mocanu, making a song promoting nd).
However the climate is terribile, there is a very visible divide in society and the information is competelely pollutad by fake news, lots of people buying some sort of apocalyptic vision that simion will bring them in the land of milk and honey espropriating everything or some crazy similar bs.
The big diaspora turnout until now seems a slightly positive sign but also watch out for additional legal recourses, in the past days bank accounts of aur (simion party) has been blocked for various reasons. I hope democracy makes its course and romanian people vote with good sense to keep their european path going, things can get ugly quick if simion wins and or something happen again with costitutional court
The largest party social democrats and Antonescu refusing to endorse Dan for the second round is quite shameful.
If Simion wins, the EU will have to accept someone who will always “second Hungary” with vetoes, do “cross-veto” like with the former Polish government. Also have to welcome an Orban-like regime to be built up. A new puppet state for Putin.
Looking at Hungary right now, everyone can decide if it is good or bad for the EU and the country.
Will never understand why someone who calls himself „nationalist“ would support an imperialistic country that acts against his own nation‘s interests
Do we understand why the diaspora is voting so largely for Simion? Is this general or particularly from some countries?
