    With initial, preliminary results from actual votes being counted now coming in it looks like Dan only has the slightest of leads thus far. Since this only includes votes from within Romania it now looks likely that the votes of Romanians living abroad will swing the election in favour of Moscow. It seems incredibly frustrating that people not living in the country get to (perhaps) change the outcome of the vote for the people who actually live within the country and therefore need to live with the consequences.

        With just 54%, that’s too much people left who fall for russian talking points in a country that is very anti-russian in general.

        Europe got lucky there. While I’m happy that Romanians chose wisely in the end, the margin is still very worrying for our future.
