00:00Romanians will go to the polls on Sunday to choose between the independent and pro-European
00:06candidate, Nicosio Dan, and Jorge Simeon, a right-wing candidate. Many are eager to vote
00:12as the race between the two gets tense. Experts expect that around 60% of Romanians will turn
00:19up to cast their ballot on Sunday, around 10% more than in the first round.
00:30In the last day, in the last hour, in the last minute, in the last second day of the vote.
00:35We have seen a score in the country and then a return to this in the diaspora.
00:40This time, I think decisively will be the mobilization of the candidates who live in Romania.
00:47I voted for the European Union, I voted for the life that I know from when I was born.
00:54I don't know how to live, but I don't want anything else than what we have now.
00:59We count for our vote, not for us.
01:02I voted for the vote. I did it for a week, at 8.30am.
01:09Both candidates support the end of the war in Ukraine, but Nicosio Dan wants to continue
01:14the support. Jorge Simeon wishes Romania would stop aiding Ukrainians. While the independent
01:20candidate is getting support from European leaders such as Donald Tusk and Maya Sandu, Jorge Simeon
01:27is aligning himself more with Giorgio Milani and Mateusz Morawiecki.
01:31Experts warn that there might not only be a political fracture within the parties, but
01:36a fracture on a societal level, as people are more and more divided between the two candidates.
01:42Whatever the result, the new president must deal with the economic impact of such instability.
