PresidentialElection2025/Lavinia Sandru: I voted against those who sold an entire country
Social Liberal Humanist Party Party (PUSL) presidential candidate Lavinia Sandru voted on Sunday at the 'Dimitrie Cantemir' National College in the capital, saying that she voted against 'all those who sold out an entire country' and urged undecided voters to 'give a slap' to those who categorise electoral competitors as either 'with a chance' or 'without a chance.'
'I voted with the thought that my vote goes to the real Romania, against all kinds of abuses that have made our parents and grandparents suffer over these past 35 years, forcing them to live in humiliation. I voted against those who stole our children's future, against those who forced our fellow Romanians in the diaspora to leave everything behind and go far away from home and family. I voted against those who don't understand that Romania's farmers should not be humiliated, but supported, because they provide us with food. I voted against those who, for 35 years, haven't built motorways, haven't built hospitals, have destroyed Romanian industry, have sold everything they could sell - they have sold an entire country all this time,' said Sandru.
She encouraged undecided voters to go to the polls: 'I have a message for everyone who hasn't yet decided to vote: go to the polls today, and for all who do, slap those who divide the candidates into those with chances - those leading in the polls, meaning system candidates - and the rest. We all saw what happened last year. (...) In the second round, we must think carefully about who to vote for so that they can win. In the first round, we vote for who we truly want. We don't vote for the lesser evil - we vote for the good - because we've seen where Romania ended up after 35 years of always voting for the lesser evil.'
The PUSL candidate also made a special appeal to women to vote. 'Go out and vote today - for yourselves - because you are extraordinary women and mothers. You know the saying: because God couldn't be everywhere, he created mothers,' she said. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Catalina Matei; EN - writing by: Adina Panaitescu)
