Sebastian Lazaroiu, a sociologist who serves as presidential aide, has evoked the possibility of a two-year government following the Sunday general elections, considering the results of the poll. He spoke to HotNews.ro readers in a Q&A session preceding a new talk-show to be hosted by HotNews.ro journalist Dan Tapalaga, a talk show that will be accessible on Radio France Internationale Romania and on the HotNews.ro website every Monday evening.
