Romanian presidential election ‘volatile and emotional’, expert says

From the show

A silent majority in Romania was mobilised to ensure the win of pro-European candidate Nicusor Dan in Sunday’s presidential election, according to Sorin Ionita, president of Bucharest-based think tank Expert Forum. Ionita, who spoke to FRANCE 24, said the uptick in votes from the first to the second round went to show “how volatile and how emotional the elections were”, adding, “it’s something that doesn’t happen every day in politics.”
