The ninety-five percent turnout is to be counted after Sunday’s Romanian parliamentary elections.

  • For my surprise Winning Social Democrats (PSD) in their last hair, with the party being measured at twenty percent by all pollsters, they were able to translate and ahead of the National Liberal Party (PNL) in my government 30.20 percentwere made in.
  • a NLP the voices 25.50 percent It is understood
  • to Save Romania USR – PLUS 15.50 percent has support,
  • the Far-Right Association for the Unification of Anti-Hungarian Romanians, to AUR 8.8 percent, finished in fourth place, ahead of
  • representing the unity of the Hungarian centrists across the border Hungarian Democratic Alliance of Romania (DAHR)what are the votes 6.20 percent received.

Whereas after the exit poll on Sunday night, Traian Băsescu’s centrist-nationalist Popular Movement party (PMP) appeared to be above the entry threshold with 5.5 percent, as revealed this morning the former Social Liberal Party PRO Romania, led by the Liberal government. that neither PMP nor Pro Romania will be a parliamentary party. Both units stopped at 4.2 percent.

Regarding the AUR, George Simion, born in Foxan, Moldova, formed a group in the United Kingdom called the Alliance for the Unification of Romanians, one of whose most important demands is the unification of Romania and the Republic of Moldova. The reason for the success of the AUR, which is also apostrophizing itself as a diaspora party, is that it manages to attract Romanians disillusioned with the Social Democrats and the centrist-nationalist parties. George Simion and the AUR, for example, were regularly involved in protests in Úzvölgy, and Dan Tanasa, known for his anti-Hungarian outbursts, also maintains close ties with the party.

The asparagus fight

The reason for the success of the USR and AUR is the partial support of millions of Romanian guest workers who are actively voting despite the small number of designated voting seats. The highly anticipated anti-government RSU, which emerged from street protests against the government, owes 29.09 percent of the vote, the AUR 26.51 percent of Romanians working abroad (its nickname is the collector of asparagus), while NLP, for example, received only 25.02 percent of the diaspora. . The other parties contributed invaluable numbers, with the DAHR receiving 1.87 percent of the vote.

The USR, which made its debut in Romanian political life in 2016, was the first political entity to succeed in bringing to the polls large numbers of Romanians who had emigrated with the hope of a better life. At that time, the movement, also called the Romanian Momentum, which analysts also called Romanian Momentum, had reached an unprecedented 28 percent since the regime change, and already in the October 2020 local elections it was able to target mainly intellectuals within from the “Gran Bulevar”.

The diaspora now could not be captured by the dignitaries of the Greater Romania state by software nationalists and classical populists who did not play ‘the Hungarian card’, so the AUR could have made a spectacular breakthrough among working Romanians abroad. The fact that DAHR did not actually handle the Úzvölgyi cemetery case according to the severity of the problem may also have indirectly played a role in this expansion.

The new Romanian nation-state

8.8 percent of the AUR clearly indicates that Romanians working abroad are dissatisfied with the government, and so far aspirations for “nationalist software” have not satisfied the idea that has been enshrined for thirty years and enshrined in the constitution, according to which

Romania is a sovereign and independent nation-state, unified and indivisible.

This is also a clear answer for Hungarians in Romania, some of whom would view Szeklerland as territorial and others as cultural autonomy.

The measurement was accompanied by a total lack of interest, participation was only 31.84%, the lowest electoral presence in history. This ratio does not rule out surprises, in fact, if we look only at the percentage measure, the support of some parties is quite distorted. Up.
