On Sunday, Romania will vote between pro-Europe or invisible communism from Monday. There are 7 million Romanians in the diaspora and some of them, you might know. We desperately need you to mobilise them to go and vote.

  1. We might not like who they’re voting for. Sadly, there are more of them who supported the fascist parties so far, which is really puzzling.

    Edit: I was strictly referring to diaspora voters, as per OP’s post.

  2. This is a call for a civic movement and it starts only with my upvote. Zero views. You, reading this, get the chance to amplify it further.

    To add to this: the nation has not been this divided before and only 10% of our diaspora has voted, benefiting from the EU benefits. Whatever Putin’s plan is, it worked. It worked pretty much everywhere because his message goes to either side: pro or against, creating more and more division. That message leaves the 50% of the population out, who just don’t know.

    Talk with the romanians you know. When the house is dirty (oh, and it is), we clean it, but don’t light it on fire.

  3. If you think the battle is over on Monday if the fascist wins you are dead wrong. A vicious struggle will follow suit. It may take years, but nothing is over on Monday.

  4. You guys need to resist Putin, all these pro-russia candidates popping up all across europe and gaining a huge ammount of support is not a coincidence, you can’t let Putin turn the EU against itself.

  6. It’s not communism, it’s literally far right fascism e.g. the legionnaire movement, which were Nazi Germany’s allies during WWII.

  7. what is, communism or fascist, those are destinct things

  8. The very, very bad part is that this fascist candidate could actually win — in my opinion, he has the highest chances. The tension in society is incredibly high, everyone is angry, and a group (or several groups) of Russian GRU bots are manipulating the crowd’s emotions through TikTok and social media. Please, educate yourselves and see how propaganda works in Romania because I am 100% sure this will happen in all European countries.

    The good part is that the fascist’s popularity hasn’t extended to his party, which barely met the threshold to enter parliament. Moreover, pro-Europe and pro-NATO parties hold the majority, making up about 65-70% of parliament. This rules out the possibility of Romania becoming like Hungary, opposing our shared European interests. All pro-Europe parties have confirmed that Romania has only one path: the European one.

    If the president goes off the rails (which he certainly will), parliament can remove him. Additionally, this candidate is so repugnant in the minds of rational people that even the Orthodox Church is increasingly showing signs of being against him. This is not surprising, considering that this fascist candidate claims to have a direct connection/communication with God.

  9. Mobilize them to vote **pro-Europe**, unfortunately in the first round, Romanian diaspora from Europe voted anti-Europe, for what OP calls “invisible communism”, which actually is a pro-Putin fascist guy

  10. No thanks, the diaspora can shove their votes up their asses as long as they have maximum logical fractures, voting for pro-Russia candidates while sitting comfortable in Western countries.

  11. Oh I bet strangers or passing acquaintances pestering them about politics will work out just fine…

  12. Are you referring to the pro-Russia party as communist? Do you think Putin is a communist?

  13. dear europe! we are confused, we are manipulated, we really don’t know where this guy came from!! is not fair, please never turn your back on us, no matter how stupid we are..

  14. fascist or communist labels just don’t mean anything anymore in the 21st century

  15. It’s worse than communism. It’s literally far right Putinophilia + fascism

  16. What’s happening to the world? Why is it always a choice between pro-European candidates and some awful option? Why can’t we ever have a vote between two pro-European candidates, so we can avoid the nerve-wracking suspense for once?

  17. If someone could put together a leaflet with information about the fascist and instructions for voting from abroad that would be really useful!

  18. Do you though? Don’t diaspora romanians abroad notoriously vote ultra right?

  19. Romanian diaspora overwhelmingly voted for the nationalist guy. Are you sure you want to pump his numbers?

  20. Yeah call them, mobilise then and they will vote. But they will not vote how Predditors and MSM wants to lol
    They have spoken in the 1st tour and they will speak in the 2nd as well.

  21. Hitler tought communism was something made up by jews.

    Churchill never was an antifascist, in fact he praised some of Hitler’s choices and views, like the atrocity commited in Africa and India, Churchill was a very racist person, not with european white people, but as the colonizer he was with black people.

    The hostility for communism, even after the Berlin wall and the URSS collapsed was a thing.

    After defeating the nazi germany all the nazi scientists flew to Uk and USA to help fight URSS with the nuclear bomb, which was just a display of power aimed at Stalin.

  22. For anyone criticising OP for using the word communism:

    In Romania in the late 20th century (post-WWII) we had what is known by everyone as a Communism era which was essentially an authoritarian dictatorship with Ceasescu as the leader, that kept -some- features of communism but still wasn’t what most people nowadays call communism as an ideology. However, when romanians talk about this candidate and how he might throw Romania back into communism, they refer to the communism era specifically happening in Romania a few decades ago, not communism as an ideology. While there are definitely better words to use, the word “communism” has a special significance to Romanians that may be lost in translation 🙂

    Hope that helps!

  23. Unbelievable, I still see people, especially Romanians, even after so many days who don’t know that Georgescu is in fact a legionary and has nothing to do with communism.

  24. We need you all to write a letter to any EU parliament vicepresident about banning tiktok.

  25. I think we might be seeing what is essentially an insurance policy for future Russian intervention in Moldova. These are fascinating times we live in.

  26. If the communist one in disguise happens to win we have no choice but to do what we did with the other communist dictator. Christmas is anyway coming up so lets protest like we did in the christmas of 1989. History repeats itself after all.

  29. There’s nothing communist about Georgescu. He’s an outright right-wing fascist. Stop misinforming people, because this is the exact reason we’re in this mess now.

  30. My work colleague’s Romanian and he completely forgot about the elections. The sound he made when I told him about Georgescu, he was not pleased and made a reminder to himself to vote.

  32. Do words not mean anything anymore? He’s not a communist lmao, he’s a fascist with no political direction besides venerating war criminals

  33. Just let democracy work, the most popular with the people will come out on top

  34. The people outside romania are voting for him so please do not mobilise them even more

  35. Euh, polls show they voted majoritarily for the nazi so maybe be careful with that.

  36. Communist? He’s a flat out fascist and worships Antonescu and the legionary’s. Ceausescu looks like the savior of Romanian when compared to those fascist people and groups.

  37. I have a romanian coworker, whenever I asked he seems to give 0 fucks about this election.

  38. Don’t mobilise the diaspora, they voted in his favor😭
