First of all, I would like to salute each and every one of you fine people, for it has passed a lot of time since I last addressed you. As you can probably realize from the title, my intent is to present you the latest developments in Romanian politics. Of course, as everywhere, in the days before the elections, the Romanian public found out how astonishing Romania will look after electing Romania’s finest lads.


The latest development in regional affairs, after the Denmark incident, makes you more interested in the outcome of the Sweden-Denmark conflict rather than the internal political developments in Romania. On the issue, I would like to reassure you of Romania’s sympathy and inform you that in the Romanian media appeared articles asking for action in your favor. Some Romanians already moved to Sweden and are fighting side by side with you.

I would like to thank one of my conational’s, Maurits, who worked on a series of charts that make my job a lot easier. You can find his article here.

As you can see in the first chart (if you open that link), two parties (central-right and central-left) dominate the Romanian Congress (The Liberal Party - PL and The Democratic Union of Gamers - eUGD), totaling 77.5 percent of Congressional seats. The Liberal Party, the largest political formation in Romania, has 19 seats, while the eUGD won only 12 seats. The other 3 Top 5 parties – The Matza Party (TMP), Archangel’s Michael Legion (eLAM) and Romanian Brainstorming Party (eRBP), managed to secure only 9 seats in the legislative body.

In the second chart, you can see the number of votes that each party received and the percent from the total body of voters. But for those of you who aren't that keen on Romanian politics i'll copy those figures here:
PL ….......... 1545 (43.02 😵
eUGD .…..... 737 (20.52 😵
eLAM …....... 415 (11.56 😵
TMP ............. 521 (14.51 😵
eRBP …...... 373 (10.39 😵


In the conclusion, it is easy to see that in Romania, the largest and most influential parties managed to secure a comfortable win, and, on the political scene, the opposition has a weaker case, by comparison to the months passed.


Thank you for taking the time to read this article. I wish to you a great day!

Kind Regards,
Ion Vlahu – Romanian Ambassador to Sweden
