    1. I voted for our future to be decided only by Romanians, for Romanians and Romania. So help us, God!
    2. It is a win for the optimistic Romania, but there is a large part of voters that are really upset with the direction of the country.

    1. It's a victory of thousands and thousands of people who … believe that Romania can change in the right direction.
    2. There is also a community that lost today's elections. A community that is rightly outraged by the way politics has been conducted in Romania up to now.

    Andrei Tarnea
    Romanian Foreign Ministry
    1. A viral campaign of fake news on Telegram and other social media platforms is aimed to influence the electoral process. This was expected and authorities debunked the fake news.
    2. Coordinated social media viral postings are currently mounting an aggressive campaign of spreading false allegations regarding the voting process.

    1. It's impossible to interfere in something like that — only to get smeared in it. So don't smear anyone else with your electoral mess.
