Fair points. Not too familiar with the situation in Romania but it seems the people voted against “the establishment”, as we’ve seen in other European countries over the last number of years. Can’t be external interference in all of these cases although I’m not discounting that it might be in some.

My view is that in a healthy democracy any external influence wouldn’t achieve such results but maybe I’m too optimistic.
