How accurate is this poll? This is extremely grim. The West pulled Romania out of extreme poverty, and they are willing to stab the West in the back by overwhelmingly backing an extremely pro-Russia lunatic at a critical moment. Sometimes, I think that NATO expansion was indeed a mistake. Countries like Romania and Hungary greatly profited from the West, but now they are turning their backs on the West because they want some exotic nationalism/fascism. Spoiled brats. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian people are desperately fighting to be part of the West to have a brighter future, but they will never be accepted.
Romania, go home, you are drunk!
So, when are we arming Moldova?
the result of 45 years of communism, and 35 years of cleptocracy: 80 years of promoting a lack of education and culture combined with probably one of the most misogynistic society in europe.
i think only god can save us now.
The tiktok nazi is in the lead, never thought I’d see that shit.
Okay I thought that first turns always get more votes for extremist candidates but second turns make everyone rally for the normal one… This would be a bloody disaster: Romania, we need you guys!
Wow, we lost Romania…
I’m pretty sure that Romania’s history has a lot to do with that, but what’s wrong with the young people? Why would they vote for this guy? It’s beyond comprehension for me. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
Just to put this out there: polls predicted Kamala Harris to win. I was in the US during their election and I went to bed convinced she was going to win. We all know the rest.
If history teaches us something, is not to pay attention to the polls. The results are usually much worse then they predict.
As a romanian working abroad i can confirm that this neofascist scum has A LOT of supporters
CURS poll? More like “CURSed poll” 💀
Cursed. How to lose a country without a war. Hopefully Russian soldiers aren’t there yet
Man europe cant continue like this
How on earth can you go and vote for a literal Nazis and Russian sympathizers as a Romanian!
I can’t say that I understand what’s going on across the Western world, but it’s something very serious and risks radically altering our way of life. Reddit is clearly a bubble with the overwhelming majority expressing shock and disdain for candidates like him, but yet he’s likely to win a majority of the vote in Romania.
We need to wake the hell up and take serious action to address what’s going on (and no, I don’t know what the solutions are). How can so many people fall for an unhinged lunatic like Georgescu? Obviously enough people see the current system as so disgusting and unrepresentative that they’d throw it all away for conspiracy theories and authoritarianism.
Don’t just blame propaganda from Russia (which does play a role). That propaganda exploits our issues, it doesn’t cause them. What the hell are we witnessing?
ROMANIA LOCK THE FUCK IN
ROMANIA NOOO 😭 I was planning to escape to Bucharest in case our pro-Russian party came to power..
What is this timeline
Holy shit, this isn’t even close
It’s just a poll. This shouldn’t demoralise us, this should push us to try and fight against russian dezinformation harder!
It’s everyone’s duty here in Romania to protect their homes, their beliefs, their values and so on. I’m sure that we can win this and that we can defend our democracy!
Even if we lose the presidential election, we will fight from the opposition. I trust my fellow Romanians!
Love EU and RO!
We need to ban Tiktok immediately in Serbia!
People like TikTok shorts. Simple as, apparently. People like if he loud. Doesn’t need more. They are hungry for a change. They are too stupid or uncaring to consider what he says. Many feel pleased if “he makes the ‘elites’ mad” (no matter how, obviously). Medial attention helps in such settings… And then they start identifying with him, feeling insulted for being criticized for voting for him. And then the line is drawn, and it’s us vs them, and our leader and so on.
But I just thought that Romania is more anti-Russian…
Jesus neighbours, are you ok?
Man, Fuck this wretched fucking timeline that we’re living in. How the fuck are so many people in western democracies so keen to throw it all away by electing for some deranged Kremlin-backed fascist lunatic?
This is how Russia and China are winning the new Cold War, by poisoning western democracies by rotting the brains of people online with propaganda and misinformation.
Stupid, but many.
Well, not saying it’s the only reason, maybe not even the main one (but it adds up), but treating Romania like a second hand country with Schengen and other similar stuff has some limits and consequences… Sad.
CURS this polling company is heavily biased. It is not a good source of information.
WHAT? What are you people doing? Why are we giving control of our homeland to Russia? I legitimately don’t understand why people are voting like this
Another conquered country on Putin’s list.
I am waiting until by some “miracle” it turns out that the UK monarchy needs a new king…. and not according to the succession list…
Hey Brits! What do you think? Wouldn’t Nigel Farage sometimes deserve the title of king?
Jezus… the free world is collapsing…
So even if he wins does he have any power? I understand that from parliament elections nothing much will change in Romanian pro-EU course.
In Latvia from where is am from president holds VERY limited power thus asking as people here are saying “it’s over!!!”.
It is so over
What’s going on Romania, is there really that many of you who are prepared to vote for someone who thinks the moon landings were faked?
Romania is at crossroads…
This is insane.
A pro-democracy Romanian here. After this sudden rise of Georgescu, I can only say to all Czech here: nobody’s safe from hybrid warfare.
Thank god you guys love more staying in nature than on Tik-Tok (and that you seem more russophobic along the way), unlike my fellow citizens. Good luck to us all!
Don’t make mistake Serbia did in 2012, we can’t get rid of them now! You have it all better than us and you choose poorly
Romania has fallen 😞. Has fallen to incompetence, to misinformation, to radicalism. Has fallen to lies, corrupt politicians and a wannabe president (Iohannis), who, for 10 years, was in a continuous paid leave and remained stuck in his bubble. I am born in the 80’s, with glimpses of what the communism meant. I have young colleagues at work, born after ‘98, and they are amazed when I tell them that I still remember the first time when I ate a banana or when I drank my first Cola. And they are the ones voting for this guy, some of them. I genuinely fear for what’s to come with the extremism. And the worst part is that I don’t want to leave again the country, I love it, it’s so beautiful. So, dear Europe, just so you know, there are people in Romania who love you and want to see you united. Give us some time please.
Those who don’t know their own history, are doomed to repeat it.
Trend all over europe peeps.
Not the first and not the last country where this will happen.
I can’t wrap my head around what’s going on, especially in EU, I mean everyone wants to live better, right? That’s why populist parties are so popular, but how in the flying fck do they think that they’d be better off under russia? They’re spending everything on the war now (make peace with russia lmao) + literally everything we own and have in our houses is thanks to the satanic and awful west, meanwhile there is nothing coming from russia since they can’t produce anything. Guess I’m just gonna assume that all the people around are simply evil and want to see others suffer/brought down while hoping they’ll be the ones doing the repressing.
I hope all those Romanians living in the EU move back home now. Since they voted for someone who doesn’t want to be in the EU.
In the first couple of days, while I was still in disbelief, I thought there was no way this guy can win, his voters were fooled by TikTok and surely won’t vote for him in the second round, so guaranteed easy win for Lasconi.
Then I started talking with real people outside the reddit bubble. All I can say is…I think we’re fucked. Hope we are not, but I think we are.
The west is at war with Russia since a long time ago and Russia is winning. They’re exploiting vulnerabilities in our systems and pieces start to fall one by one.
I would’ve never imagined people can be manipulated this bad and that you can convince them to vote for who you want by showing them 7 seconds* of a clip on TikTok.
* As I understand the average interaction with TikTok clips is around 7 seconds.
