  5. Of course he resigned, the government was meant to increase taxes and put austerity measures next month bcs of how big the budget deficit is. Now that they lost they can quit before a crisis hits Romania and they can shift the blame on the new government that's most likely gonna be nationalist and use the pretext of foreign investors leaving as an excuse to cover the damage and stealing they did.

  10. Our budget deficit is 9%. He left us with 9% budget deficit. Like Liz Truss, he wrecked the economy and then left.

  15. Simion is a danger to Romania as a President running foreign affairs. He is very inexperienced. Simion is also a fake friend of Georgescu. Them and their voters are the many lost children of the traumatic communist regime that refuse to learn and adapt to a capitalist republic. I hope Romanians will vote for Nicusor Dan 🙏

  19. Vote Fiasco? . . . . The fiasco that EU cancelled the Romanian elections, because they did not like who won?😂
