Just a little something about the elections here in Romania...
Well.. presidential elections... every four years... nothing unordynary in that, no ? But (there's always a but) not like in the U.S. or someplace else (anywhere in polithycally advanced countries) with two candidates ... noooo... 50% of the population ... and I mean only half, because the other half is satisfied if it gets a place in the parlament ...
Lots of candidates, therefore we need two rounds... the first two candidates get into round two... and the people have to choose between them...
So this year in the second round :
  1. Ion Iliescu
  2. Corneliu Vadim Tudor
They both have honest faces, don't they ? [nooooot] But, upon closer inspection of their histories, you find out (or already know) that both of them are X-communists, but htere are some little, but significant differences between the two of them.
Our country had a *very* communist leader, Nicolae Ceausescu, who in 1989 had to be executed (abuse of power). Vadim was his right hand helper ... He once said [direct translation]:"This country can be leaded only with a machine-gun". Who in his right mind says stuff like this and then wants to be president ? There are rumors aout him having a black list with names of people that have to be executed (mostly politicians), because the country cannot be with them alive ... And another thing .. he said he'll have to hang all of the hungarians (p.s.:I'm one of them) and gipsies living in Romania ...
Romanians, I am very dissapointed... looks like there aren't a lot of sane people in this country ... I mean who in his right mind would vote for an asshole and psycho like this ? Well, luckyly only 30% of the country is insane and stupid ... Vadim didn't win ... God... you should have seen the look on his face... He was steamin '...
The current president of romania ... (Visit his website), Ion Iliescu ...
FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD.. THE MAN IS 71 YEARS OLD !!!!! Jesus fuckin Christ.. he's gonna die in a year or two, and then the president will probably be Vadim ...
So in conclusion, our future is as bright as the eight ball ... Forget NATO, forget the EU, forget dreamin about a good life....
Well.. I just felt like tellin' you that... shitty, huh ?

Best wishes, Endre....
