[quote]Romania's prime minister conceded defeat Sunday night in an extremely close presidential runoff against an ethnic German Transylvanian mayor. Victor Ponta had been the favorite to win, but was narrowly edged out by Klaus Iohannis, the mayor of the city of Sibiu who promised a crackdown on corruption. Ponta said he had personally congratulated Iohannis. "We are a democratic country," Ponta said outside the headquarters of his Social Democratic Party two hours after polls closed. "The people are always right." Exit polls put the results at neck and neck with the first official results expected early Monday. The winner will replace President Traian Basescu, who is stepping down after 10 years. Ponta called on some 15,000 protesters gathered outside his offices to listen to his message in an apparent attempt to defuse tensions over difficulties encountered by expatriate Romanians voting abroad. "Thanks to you, another kind of Romania is beginning," Iohannis said later on his Facebook page. "The Romania we want is not one of conflict or revenge." "Your vote and your word are its foundation. Let's put the first brick on this building and let it be a lasting one!"[/quote] [URL="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/romanians-begin-voting-presidential-runoff-26947476"]Source[/URL] [IMG]http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/1/186/3928/12657133/2/iohannis6750244-mediafax-foto-silviu-matei.jpg[/IMG]

Regarding him, all his political campaign is pretty much fighting corruption. And regarding his administrative capabilities this is the city he ran for 14 years (was re-elected as mayor over and over) [video=youtube;wBUbYblME5o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBUbYblME5o[/video] Dunno how good he will be, but we'll see.

That city is beautiful! Night life is great too.
Didn't realize there were still Transylvanian Germans living there in numbers. I thought they all got evicted, like my grandparents did.

I feel all the corrupt ex communist party members who sold Romanian industry for pennies after the revolution trembling because someone is actually gonna improve the country and fight corruption.
