Romania’s distant presidential candidate George Simian has got strong support at a distant place as he is prominent for a stressful run-off election on Sunday: Cosslada, a dilapidated dormatry city outside Madrid with a large Romanian community.The Spanish city of 80,000 people-more than 20 percent of the Romanians that Simian has obtained compatriot abroad, who is ready to help the 38-year-old victory against the Centrist Mayor of its European rival European rival, Nicasore Dan, Bucharest.A café near the so-called “Romanian class” of Koslada should be hired by a meeting site contractors for day-to-day laborers-many migrants from the European country said that they had voted Simian in the first round on May 4.US President Donald Trump’s fan and Nationalist and party chief Simian took 40.9 percent in that vote with his anti -establishment message to 40.9 percent.His difference of victory between the diaspora was even widespread: he supported more than 60 percent of Romanians abroad.In Spain, he won 74 percent of the votes.“I want change. And so everyone comes back home,” said Miora Maura, because she collapsed the salice slice for a customer in the “Economic Market Remnkens” Mini-Mart, which was piled up with Romanian products such as pickle vegetables and beer.Mohora, who is in her 40s and has been living in Spain for eight years, said she decided to vote for Simian when the Romania’s constitutional court canceled the country’s preliminary presidential election last year on claims of Russian intervention.Dark-Horses After Kalin Georgesu, a remote candidate, the decision was unexpectedly in the first round in November, sometimes gave rise to violent demonstrations.Georgsku has been stopped from re -running.“It was a protest vote,” Moura said about his support for Simian.“They took away our right to vote for the person we really wanted.”
‘Looking for a hero’
As he was weighed at a nearby Romanian butcher shop, 48 -year -old, Romanian officials said the Romanian officials “overturned the will of the people”.INESCU, who has been in Spain for two decades, said she did not vote last year or early this month, and there is no plan to cast a ballot at the end of this week.“Romanians are desperate. They are looking for a hero,” he said when asked about Simian.There has been a lot of rally in the economy of Romania since the fall of communism in 1989, but the country of about 19 million people still struggles with comprehensive corruption and low living standard than rich western and northern European countries.This has inspired many Romanians to go abroad. Some of them live in 600,000 Spain, making them one of the largest foreign communities in the country.Coslada is home to about 17,500 Romanians. Local buses advertise flights to Bucharest, and many shop signals are both Spanish and Romanian.
‘Always disappointed’
According to Daniel Teku, president of the Federation of Romanian associations in Europe, the Romanian Pravasi is roughly divided into two groups.He said, “There are people who want to be anchor in the European Union, who have seen the development of Romania within the European Union and do not want to do anything with Russia,” he said.He said that Simian mainly won votes from another group: those who are disappointed with the current political class and “are tired of corruption, are angry, who do not return to Romania because it is not the country they want”, he said.A Romanian restaurant in front of Koslada’s train station, Floorin Paduruu-Jin Simian, owner of Botosani, visited Europe before the election-said that “migrant European supporters voted for Europeans, but it is over now”.The 55 -year -old Paduriyu said, “I have always voted, but I have always been disappointed.”“After 20 years here, you still have not learned anything? Europe allows you to support your mother, your father and your children, thanks for the money you earned here,” he said.
