Oana POPESCU, director, Center for Conflict Prevention and Early Warning, Bucharest:

“I think it was less a vote for Klaus Iohannis than an anti-establishment vote. It was rather a vote for change, for how democracy should work, because citizens saw that they were still not represented properly.

In other words, it was a vote for a more democratic model of governance.”
