Romanian writes in The Guardian: “Romania’s politicians must reconnect with reality”

“Dissatisfaction with the current leaders is, of course, what pushes people to take the streets. But it would be a mistake to regard the demonstrations as being simply directed against Basescu and his government,” writes Romanian Cristian Cercel, doctoral fellow within the school of government and international affairs, University of Durham, in The Guardian.

 “Protesters need figures to vent their anger against, yet the opposition’s reluctance to capitalise on the demonstrations until now highlights a lack of trust in the entire political class; opposition leaders, such as “champagne socialist” Victor Ponta or the liberal Crin Antonescu – an MP who rarely attends the parliamentary sessions – are all too aware that any straightforward attempt to capitalize on the public discontent and transform it into a pro-opposition movement would probably fail,” goes the article which concludes that if Romanian politicians fail to offer a serious political response, they will be accountable to their electorate.
