Yet, only one out of three Romanians chose Ion Iliescu. Two more remain. Is this we? One could say he is Jesus Christ. You remember him?

Between the ones who know that they have something to gain by entering Europe and the ones who know or feel they have something to lose. And the ones who feel they lose are lots. Among them, there ar
