European injustice
Pro-Eu medium nicușordan wins the shocking politics of the Romanian presidential election. I think the real shock was when Romania with support from the EU was able to negate the previous election and remove the winning candidate from the vote, but that’s just me.
reaction:
🇷🇴, they did it. The EU managed to push forward this massive election fraud led by Macron’s France, Moldova and, of course, the Romanian state.
We were so naive to think that Romanians would allow free elections, that many people suffered… pic.twitter.com/dsayqi7opw

Congratulations on my warmth @nicusordanro With his victory tonight!
Romanians were seen heavily in opinion polls.
They chose the promise of Romania, which was open and prosperous in a powerful Europe.
Let’s fulfill that promise together.
I’m looking forward to working…
